Beavers Missing Key Players For Trip To Cheshire

September 1, 2011

Beverley RUFC open their League campaign with a visit to league newcomers Burnage RFC in Cheshire. Despite having a successful pre-season with victories over Hull Ionians and Malton & Norton, the Beavers start their campaign with a somewhat depleted squad. First choice winger Goran Jelencic is suspended following his dismissal against Hull Ionians, centre Sam Atiola is awaiting his visa renewal and is, therefore, not available for selection. Last season’s…

A Right Kick In The Duboulay’s For Hull

August 20, 2011

The 2011/2012 season opened at Beaver Park, Beverley on Friday evening with Beverley RUFC taking on Hull Ionians in the first round of the Yorkshire Cup before a good sized crowd. An entertaining match was in prospect with National Two (North) side Ionians parading their string of newly signed players against a young National Three (North) Beverley RUFC side. Initial anticipation proved to be correct for this was an absolutely…

Beavers Host Middlesbrough in Relegation Decider

May 4, 2011

Beverley RUFC stage one of the most important matches of recent years on Saturday when they host Middlesbrough in the National League 3 (North) relegation decider. The Beavers are 4 points clear of Middlesbrough and will survive and send Middlesbrough down if they win. Having beaten them soundly at Middlesbrough only 3 weeks ago, Beverley ought to be quietly confident but, anything can go wrong in what amounts to a…

Soft Tries Prove Costly As Beavers are Beaten by Rossendale

April 24, 2011

Eleven tries and plenty of expansive rugby but for Beverley RUFC the day was all rather unsatisfactory. They conceded three soft tries in the first quarter of an hour and never quite recovered from it.  There was no lack of effort and at one stage they got back to within ten points but in the end they were well beaten.  Rossendale still entertain hopes of a play-off place and they,…

Fine Away Win Eases Beavers Relegation Fears

April 18, 2011

Another excellent victory over fellow strugglers took Beverley RUFC to relative safety from relegation. But not quite.  One more win from their last two games would be enough to ensure survival although this will not be necessary if Waterloo are defeated at Middlesbrough next week.  Otherwise even now it could still be a very tight finish. With so much at stake this was always going to be a dog-eats-dog encounter. …

Excellent Beavers Win Easily at Middlesbrough

April 10, 2011

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…

Injury Hit Beavers Boosted by Return of Pickering

March 24, 2011

Saturday brings another crucial game to Beaver Park with fellow relegation strugglers Billingham RFC the visitors. Beverley RUFC will be keen to shake off the lethargy shown in the last couple of weeks and return to the form that we know they are capable of. In truth they are not being helped by the appalling run of injuries that they are suffering and the Physio room on Tuesday night showed…

Walden & Dale Set to Return For Beavers Clash With Lymm

March 17, 2011

Two very important matches are taking place at Beaver Park this Saturday with the first team taking on Lymm who are also in the relegation mix in National League 3 (North) and the 2nds taking on Malton a & Norton in which could well be a Merit League play-off spot decider. It is vital that Beverley RUFC overcome Lymm but the Physio’s room was full on Tuesday night with players…

Bradford Snatch Victory From Beverley at Beaver Park

February 6, 2011

A pulsating match and a thrilling finish.  A Phil Dale penalty five minutes from time looked to have won it for Beverley but Bradford came back again at the very death to snatch victory with a last gasp penalty. For half the match Bradford gave Beverley RUFC the run-around with some superb back play and it looked like Beverley were in for a mauling as the visitors cruised to an…

Beavers Host High Flyers Chester at Beaver Park

January 20, 2011

Beverley RUFC entertain Chester this Saturday at Beaver Park, kick-off 2.15 p.m., in what should be an enthralling encounter. Chester have been in the top two in the league table all season and, although they slipped up last Saturday and dropped back to third place, they will provide stern opposition for the Beavers. For their part Beverley completely revised their tactics and game plan last Saturday at Sandal and picked…

Beavers Face Darlington Subject to Pitch Inspection

January 5, 2011

Beverley RUFC are hoping to resume their National League 3 (North) campaign this weekend with a home game against Darlington Mowden Park after a lay-off due to weather and the Christmas holiday stretching back to November 20th, when they beat Penrith by 30 points to 0. Naturally the weather is still a factor in the pitch condition and the club officials are keeping a close eye on things, The heavy…

Beverley Back to Winning Ways at Beaver Park

November 21, 2010

Only driving rain prevented this from being a real cracker.  Fixtures between these two sides nearly always produce close hard fought encounters and this one promised to be no exception.  In the end it proved to be Beverley’s day, fairly comfortably as it turned out.  The game was played in a great spirit.  Both sides gave it everything and made light of the conditions but Beverley were that bit quicker…

Beverley Well Beaten by Birkenhead

A moment of carelessness twenty minutes from time put an end to any chance Beverley might have had of getting something out of this game. Birkenhead held a narrow lead at 10-7 and at that stage it was still anybody’s match. Beverley made a mess of a lineout and this led to a converted Birkenhead try. It proved to be the defining moment of the match. After that it was…

Beverley Get Much Needed Win Against Rochdale

After a string of narrow defeats which left them sitting alarmingly low in the league Beverley RUFC badly needed this victory. Rochdale hardly looked like a side still without a win this season and contributed hugely to an entertaining game.  For most of the time the fast flowing rugby played by both sides matched the fine autumn sunshine.  Well, it did for the first half at any rate.  In the…

Winless Rochdale Next Up For Beverley RUFC

October 28, 2010

Bottom of the table Rochdale are the visitors to Beaver Park on Saturday for the National League 3(North) match between the two struggling sides. Although they are now third from the bottom of the table, Beverley are a far better team than their league position suggests, but they cannot continue to rely on that theoretical analysis. They must start to put together a winning run to back up the theory…

Archibald Likely to Return for Trip to Bradford

October 21, 2010

Beverley RUFC make the relatively short journey to Bradford on Saturday where they take on Bradford & Bingley in the National League 3 North fixture. They will need to improve on their showing of last week when they came second best to a physical Rossendale side which bullied them from start to finish. Beverley could not obtain any satisfactory set piece ball and the 24-36 scoreline rather flattered them. It…

Beverley Entertain Rossendale in Foot of the Table Clash

October 15, 2010

This Saturday’s visitors to Beaver Park are Rossendale RFC who travel from Lancashire to take on Beverley in the National League 3(North) fixture. Lying just one place below the Beavers in the league table, Rossendale are a big, physical side and Beverley need a win to take them away from the foot of the table. Coach James McKay said earlier this week, “Each of our four defeats this season have…

Beavers Push League Leaders All The Way

October 10, 2010

Another tight encounter for Beverley and yet another grandstand finish.  They were never more than a single score behind and were desperately unlucky not to snatch victory in the frantic final minutes.  Chester, top of the table with five wins out of five and averaging over thirty points a game, might have been looking for an easy ride here.  Not only did they ultimately have to rely on the boot…
