Following a much improved display last Saturday against West Hartlepool where, despite losing by 13 points to 9, Beverley were by far the better team on the day and lost the game largely due to three vital and very dubious decisions going against them, the Beavers head to Sandal reinforced with more confidence than for a long while. Richard Bussey, Francis Pickering and Craig Hancock all came through their return…

A rather curious match.  Beverley RUFC opened their league season with a visit to newly promoted Burnage and for the first time had to contend with an artificial playing surface.  How much this affected their game is uncertain but in the end they were well beaten by a lively Burnage side which was clearly at home on the plastic surface. With several senior players not yet available Beverley RUFC fielded…

An excellent day for Beverley RUFC.  Not only did they soundly defeat one of their fellow relegation strugglers but they picked up a four try bonus point and did it all in some style.  Middlesbrough are a tough side to beat at Acklam Park and with three wins and a draw in their last four matches they probably fancied their chances here.  But Beverley RUFC imposed themselves from the outset…

Beverley RUFC embark upon the long trek to Cumbria on Saturday for their National League  fixture against Penrith RFC. They will need to shake off the blues following last weekends comprehensive defeat by a strong Birkenhead Park side, which pushed them perilously close to the relegation zone. Having beaten the Cumbrians by 30 points to nil last November, and drawing the game at Penrith last season, the Beavers can approach…
