Beverley Battle Hard To Win At Beaver park
Not much quality rugby here but Beverley RUFC came out of it with the win they badly needed and a bonus point to go with it. For much of the game Beverley were outplayed and could hardly get their hands on the ball. At 20-7 down early in the second half and penned in their own half they looked to be heading towards another defeat. But the game was completely…
Archibald Comes Out Of Retirement But Beavers Go Down
Birkenhead Park are a most friendly club and their hospitality before and after the game is second to none. But out on their own pitch they are always a tough proposition and Beverley RUFC will not have relished travelling there today with another heavily patched up side. The result was more or less inevitable and it was largely a question of how well Beverley RUFC would acquit themselves. Once again…
Beverley Well Beaten By Bradford In National 3 North
Good in patches but much of this game was rather messy and unmemorable. Given Beverley RUFC’s parlous injury crisis the result was probably what could have been expected. That they restricted Bradford to only two tries and a conversion in the second half was a credit to Beverley RUFC who had turned round 41-0 down after being heavily outplayed in the first half. In fact the second half was a…
Squandered Chances Cost Beverley At Beaver Park
Some exciting rugby but not a lot of quality in a game where the win might have gone either way. In the end it was more woe for Beverley RUFC at Beaver Park. They not only lost a match they would have hoped to win but they suffered yet more injuries to senior players. With little experienced backup to call on the situation now looks ominous, particularly with a trip…
Dismal Beavers Beaten By Morley
A hugely disappointing day. Beverley RUFC never seem to do themselves justice at Morley but they seldom play quite as poorly as they did today. They bore little resemblance to the side that finished so impressively last week against Penrith and the only surprise was that they did not concede a lot more than twenty six points. Morley played with exuberance and dash from start to finish while Beverley RUFC…

Beverley Win Merrit League Title at Driffield
Beverley RUFC 2nd XV claimed the Merit League title coming from behind to beat Malton and Norton in a pulsating final. Beverley RUFC who at one point were 16 – 3 battled hard and found themselves take a 28 – 20 lead. Malton then added a try closing the gap to just three points. The beavers however secured the title with penalty that was kicked by Jamie Gill to ensure…
East Yorkshire Merit League One Play-off Semi Final
After finishing top of their merit league Beverley 2nds entertained 4th place Scarborough Vikings in their play off semi final a week after narrowly beating the same opposition 19-12 in their final league match. An almost full strength Beavers, only missing injured captain Rob Vaux and the unwell Jamie Gill, could not have wished for a better start as from their first foray into the visitors half fly half Ben…
Beavers 2nd XV Cruise Through to Play Off Final
Beverley RUFC 2nd XV eased past the Scarborough Vikings at Beaver Park beating the visitors 53 – 7. Stand in Captain Ian Archibald who scored a try himself was full of praise for the team who will now face either Bridlington or Morton in next Sunday’s final at Driffield. Archibald said: “I am delighted with the result though the job is only half done, no one remembers the runner up…

Charlton Pleased With Team Performance
After various last minute drop outs, this was a very different looking Beverley RUFC team that took on Scunthorpe 4ths for the 3rd time this year. Without various key personnel, it was left to the remaining players to fill the voids. The game started in usual Beverley RUFC fashion, half hearted and without commitment. Scunthorpe made easy work of the new look Beverley RUFC pack and were dominant at almost…
Scunthorpe 4ths Vs Beverley RUFC 2nds
Beverley 2nds made the trip across the Humber Bridge to take on Scunthorpe IVs at short notice after original opponents Marist called off late on Thursday evening. Even with this late change of fixture the Beavers were still able to travel with a squad of 18 to take on side they had narrowly beat at Beaver Park 12-7 less than a month ago. Last week Beverley were 17 nil behind…
Archibald Draws Positives from Defeat
Beverley RUFC 2nds travelled to Bridlington hoping to avenge a heavy defeat the last time the two sides met. Despite the late loss of influential back rower Martin Shaw to an early morning groin injury and another couple of no shows from the selected squad the Beavers had a much stronger team than their previous visit to Dukes Park in November and made strong start after a somewhat lacklustre warm…
Moral Boosting Victory for Beverley RUFC 2nd XV
After a couple of heavy defeats Beverley 2nds recorded a morale boosting victory against a experienced Scunthorpe 4th team after original opponents Cleethorpes called off on Friday morning. A week after struggling to field a forward pack Beverley welcomed back influential number 8 Rob Vaux after work commitments and also saw the return of two injured first team players Martin Shaw and Robert Todd. Todd badly broke his arm in…
Beverley RUFC 2nds Suffer Heavy Defeat
Beverley 2nds 0 Malton 52 At first viewing the scoreline suggests a totally one sided contest, however for the best part of 50 mins Beverley competed well and played some good rugby, only a lack of composure, a couple of wrong options and several injuries meant that in the end Malton ran out convincing winners after taking their chances with clinical precision. From the outset Beverley back line took their…
