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…

After a string of narrow defeats which left them sitting alarmingly low in the league Beverley badly needed this victory. 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 second half Beverley rather lost their way. They got off to a sensational start. After only three minutes Junior Tupai…
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…
A team of rugby lads are displaying their usual bare-faced cheek for an annual fundraising calendar that has become an international hit. The Beverley Rugby team have got their kit off to create the next eagerly anticipated naked fund raising calendar. This will be the fourth nude calendar that the team has produced. Over the last few years they have really taken off and become cult collectors’ items, with sales…
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…
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…
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…
Beverley RUFC travel to the North East on Saturday to face Darlington Mowden Park in their National League 3(North) fixture, kick off 3 p.m. They will be looking to pick up a win to overcome the disappointment of last week’s narrow defeat by Stockport. Both the Beavers and Stockport played some cracking rugby in a highly entertaining game and it has to be said that, had Beverley started with the…
Two evenly matched sides and an exciting encounter at Crouchley Lane. It could have gone either way. Both clubs had got their season off to a good start with fine wins and both set out to build on it here by playing fast attacking rugby. Lymm with the advantage of the slope and blustery wind had the better of the first half. Afterwards Beverley RUFC clawed their way back and…
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…
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 2nds produced arguably their best performance of the season against a spirited Driffield side and in the process scored 55 points for the second week running. Looking at the score line you could have been forgiven for thinking the conditions were suited to fast open running rugby, however the game was very nearly a victim of the weather as constant rain had left the pitch with areas of…
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…
West Hartlepool 5 Beverley RUFC 39 Beverley RUFC ended the first half of the league season in fine style with a comprehensive victory over bottom placed West Hartlepool. This fixture in the past has often proved to be something of a banana skin for Beverley RUFC. Not this time. They played some scintillating rugby and romped home to move up to sixth in the table. Some of their rugby here…
Beverley RUFC hope to build on their recent run of form when they visit bottom of the league West Hartlepool on Saturday for their National League 3 fixture. Despite leaving 1st team regulars James Mckay and Jade Gardiner on the bench last weekend, the Beavers overcame second placed Stockport to record their third consecurive win and stretch their unbeaten record to four matches.
