The final day victory that kept Beverley RUFC in Division Three North proved beyond a shadow of a doubt they deserved to stay in the division. They showed, with a full-strength team and with their minds fully on the job, they can compete with anyone in the division. Middlesborough found that out emphatically at Beaver Park on Saturday. Tries from Sam Atiola and Junior Tupai in the first period, and…
Beverley RUFC preserved their place in League Three North with a fine win in this dramatic relegation showdown. Beverley RUFC needed two points to ensure their survival; only a victory would do for Middlesbrough. In the end it was all fairly emphatic once Beverley RUFC had got the bit between their teeth. Early on they looked distinctly edgy and for twenty minutes they struggled to get their act together. Graham…
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,…
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…
So near and yet so far. This was a heartbreaking result for Beverley RUFC who had played superbly throughout and were just five minutes away from inflicting only a second defeat of the season on the League Champions. It was a pulsating match from start to finish. Neither side ever got more than one score ahead and the afternoon was full of thrilling rugby in the spring sunshine. This was…
A gripping match and a real cliff-hanger. Beverley RUFC got there in the end but it was a mighty close thing. Six times the lead changed hands as both sides went flat out for victory to ease their relegation fears. Only three points now separate five clubs two of whom will join Rochdale in the drop. For Beverley RUFC this win will have done them a power of good after…
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…
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…
Not much vintage rugby here. Beverley won in the end but they made hard work of it. Rochdale are rooted at the foot of the table and almost certainly facing relegation but they never gave this one up and they might easily have won. Only when David Worrall burst through for a try ten minutes from time could Beverley finally breathe easily. Beverley got the four league points and their…
After playing some thrilling rugby in recent weeks, Beverley RUFC were disappointingly back to their most frustrating here and could have few complaints about this defeat. Beverley were ponderous throughout and with more performances like this will be in danger of getting dragged into a relegation struggle. After twenty minutes Beverley RUFC were twelve points down after Billingham twice pounced on poor Beverley passes to score two tries. Eventually Beverley…
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…
What a match. This was a thrilling encounter played at a great pace with the result in doubt until the very end. It was an afternoon full of expectation, both these teams being capable of playing exhilarating rugby. And they did not disappoint. Chester are a fine well organised side going flat out for promotion and to have emerged triumphant against such a polished outfit was perhaps one of Beverley…
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…
What a difference a week makes. After their previous week’s fairly dismal return to action Beverley RUFC produced here some of their best rugby of the season. Although they slightly ran out of steam in the second half in the heavy going and playing up the slope their effort throughout was superb. Neither backs nor forwards could be faulted as they moved the ball about fluently and with plenty of…
At last some rugby. After five weeks of snow and frozen grounds Beverley RUFC finally got back into action, albeit on a heavy-going second-team pitch. They might have wished they had had another week off. They certainly looked the rustier of the two sides here and could hardly complain at a thirteen points defeat. With their half backs away in Australia for the rest of the season and several other…
Beverley RUFC returned to action after a long layoff but were beaten by visitors Darlington Mowden Park. Beverley, not for the first time this season, gifted their opponents an early lead in a game that Mowden Park won 30-17. The Beavers did score two tries, James McKay and Manu Kirkwood both crossing the line. Both the tries were converted by Phil Dale, and Jamie Gill added a late penalty goal….
Beverley’s Rugby Players were finally able to show off their efforts for the Movember Moustache Challenge. A number of players took part in the event with the primary aim of raising awareness of cancer amongst men and raising some money for the Everyman Male Cancer Campaign along the way. The players have raised over £800 with donations still coming in. Many of the players sported big bushy moustaches while Phil…
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…
