You couldn’t ask for better than this. Two teams going flat out with non-stop attacking rugby gave us a great match. Seven tries and most of them pretty good ones. Beverley have been threatening all season to click into shape and today it all came together with a fine performance that brought them a well deserved victory. With only one previous defeat and the best defensive record in the league…
So near and yet so far. For the second week running Beverley were down and out and then came back superbly to get to within a single score of victory. In the end they probably lost this one because they gave away too many soft scores in the middle period, principally through poor tackling and wayward kicking out of defence. Once again they completely dominated the first quarter of an…
Plenty of cracking rugby but overall a rather strange game. With just over half the match gone Stockport led 24-3 and were running away with it. At the end they were hanging on and relieved to hear the final whistle. Stockport with three straight wins are without doubt the strongest side Beverley RUFC have met so far this season. They played with a power and composure that Beverley RUFC could…
Early autumn sunshine, a lush playing field, and the start of a new season. All that was needed was a good game and these two sides gave us one. Beverley probably deserved the victory by virtue of a good second half and having the sharper finishing. But there was plenty of enterprise throughout by both teams and it was not until ten minutes from the end that an interception try…
Beverley RUFC embark upon their League campaign for this season with a home fixture against Liverpool side, Waterloo at Beaver Park on Saturday, kick-off 3 p.m. Waterloo are an unknown quantity to the Beavers, this being the first clash between the clubs in anyone’s memory. They have fallen on difficult times of late having tumble down the leagues from the very top level in only a few years. Not withstanding…
Plenty of good rugby but overall a strange game. For Beverley RUFC it was a curate’s egg performance – good and bad in about equal measure. For twenty five minutes they played some cracking stuff, were leading 17-5, and looked as though they would romp away with it. Then unaccountably it all went wrong and after that, apart from the last ten minutes, all the good rugby came from Darlington…
This weekend’s visitors to Beaver Park for Beverley RUFC’s scheduled National League 3 fixture are Darlington Mowden Park. In the corresponding fixture at Darlington last October, the Beavers lost 21-36, but felt that the 15 point margin did not reflect the game. Only a 10 minute first half blast whilst Beverley regrouped after the loss of Goran Jelencic, allowed Darlington to score 14 points without reply. Beverley will be out…
Beverley RUFC rounded off their club’s fiftieth anniversary celebrations with a fine win in the spring sunshine at Beaver Park. It was hard and physical but always an enjoyable game to watch. From the early stages a victory for Beverley RUFC always looked probable but for half an hour they made heavy weather of it and at the interval all they had to show for their domination was a single…
Beverley RUFC face West Hartlepool in what is their first home game since 6 February and will be hoping to return to winning ways. West have been plagued by relegation worries all season and have languished in the bottom three for most of the season. The Beavers won the fixture in Hartlepool by 39 points to 5 back in early December and will be keen to repeat that performance on…
Beverley paid the price for one dreadful lapse in defence to go down to a narrow defeat at league leaders Stockport. The wet conditions meant the game was fairly error-strewn and often scrappy, but it was exciting and enjoyable for all that. It was played throughout in a good spirit for which great credit is due to the refereeing of Simon Lazenby who kept it flowing with the minimum of…
Once again Beverley RUFC head over the Pennines to take on table topping Stockport. Once again the Beavers will be looking to halt their recent slide and, on the face of it, they face a tremendous task. However, they will take heart from their performance last week at Rossendale when, were it not for some extremely over zealous use of yellow cards by a very poor referee, they would almost…
Beverley RUFC head over the Pennines again this Saturday when they visit Rossendale in the National League 3 (North) fixture. This will be the third of four consecutive away fixtures for the Beavers and they will be hoping to end their depressing run of defeats which have seen them slip down the league table to seventh place. Their task has not been made easy this week by injury and unavailability…
This was a real thriller with the result in doubt until the very end. Fixtures between these two sides invariably produce fast enjoyable encounters and this was no exception. Their two games this season have yielded a total of 88 points with only a margin of two points difference between the sides. Today it was once again a nail-biting affair in which Penrith snatched victory with a penalty at the…
Chester RFC are the visitors to Beaver Park this weekend for the twice rearranged game in National League 3 (North). Beverley RUFC lost the corresponding game at Chester early in the season although they felt hard done by that day losing both Junior Tupai to a broken wrist and Goran Jelencic to concussion, very early in the game. Thankfully both have recovered well and have been influential in the Beavers’recent…
Looking anything but a side that had not played for six weeks Beverley RUFC cruised to a comfortable victory over a disappointing Sheffield Tigers to maintain their position in the upper half of League Three North. Sheffield were a pale shadow of the side that had played so impressively earlier in the season at Beaver Park and for much of the game Beverley RUFC needed merely to sit back and…
This weekend’s visitors to Beaver Park for Beverley RUFC’s scheduled National League 3 fixture are Darlington Mowden Park. In the corresponding fixture at Darlington last October, the Beavers lost 21-36, but felt that the 15 point margin did not reflect the game.

Chester RFC are the visitors to Beaver Park this weekend for the final game of 2009 in National League 3 (North). Beverley RUFC lost the corresponding game at Chester early in the season although they felt hard done by that day losing both Junior Tupai to a broken wrist and Goran Jelencic to concussion, very early in the game. Thankfully both have recovered well and have been influential in the…
Beverley RUFC’s unbeaten run ended in disappointing fashion with a lacklustre defeat loosing 19 – 10 at Birkenhead Park who now move above them in the table. This was just one of those days for Beverley RUFC whose game was error-strewn from start to finish. After their recent good form they were probably due for an off-day and this was certainly it. They were under pressure from the start as…
