Keegan Bartlett kicked the ball across the width of the pitch to challenge their defence…

The match started sadly for Beverley Braves today as in form Bailey Foulston was taken off the pitch within the first few minutes with a broken collar after a strong tackle. He has been playing superbly of late and his presence will be missed.
