Beverley RUFC will be looking to make it six wins in a row as the Beavers head to bottom of the table North Ribblesdale in the only league fixture of the day.
The Beavers have been in rich vein of form beating Old Brodleians, Keighley, Hullensians, Bradford Salem and Yarnbury in consecutive games.
The weather was cold and miserable when the teams took the field at Beaver Park for Saturday’s Yorkshire Division 1 match between Beverley and Old Brodleians and Brods immediately made their intentions clear making a sustained attack on the Beverley line.
Beverley RUFC however defended resolutely and after 5 minutes Brodleians were awarde a penalty in front of the posts. The kick hit the post and was cleared by Beverley and they mounted a sustained attack on the Brodleians line resulting in Steve Wiggill scoring wide out.
Beverley RUFC continued their good run of form as they beat their West Yorkshire counter parts Keighley to go fifth in the Northern League.
Keighley took the lead through the boot of Alex Brown who kicked a penalty in the first 10 minutes of the game though it was to be the only time the visitors were ahead in the game.
Beverley RUFC will be looking to make it four wins in a row when they entertain Keighley at Beaver Park in the 2.15PM kick off.
The Beavers go into the Norther Division clash in good form that saw them end 2016 with a run of three wins.
This was a poor match. Very scrappy with Beverley RUFC looking strangely under par, particularly following their excellent showing last week in the defeat of Bradford Salem.
Their passing was way below their normal standard and the intended receiver was invariably scrabbling about at their boots or stretching way above their heads.
A cracking game between two well-matched sides and a cracking Beverley RUFC performance.
Salem are a different proposition from the team that struggled earlier in the season and the young Beverley side would have expected a tough afternoon here. That they romped home in such fine style owed much to a composed team effort and a fearless attacking game.
Beverley RUFC ‘s injury problems continued in yesterday’s match against Yarnbury with Craig Hancock having to leave the field in the first few minutes with concussion following a midfield collision.
It is likely that he will not return before Christmas due to the mandatory recovery period required after concussion.
Beverley RUFC enjoyed a good win as they beat Selby 29 – 3 at Beaver Park in match they never looked like losing on a bitterly cold and wet afternoon.
Beverley RUFC put last Saturdays disappointing performance at Hullensians behind them as they picked up their third win of the season away at Keighley.
A strong first half from Beverley RUFC proved the difference as the Beavers beat Bradford Salem 30-24 maintaining their perfect start to the new season.
This was the twice postponed fixture between these two clubs and needed to be moved to Driffield since the Beverley ground was previously booked
Monsoon like rain throughout Friday night left the Beverley RUFC First team pitch waterlogged and this match was therefore transferred to the No 2 pitch which was also very wet but at least playable.
Another courageous Beverley effort but once again without reward. Had they been able to get their hands on the ball a bit more this might have been a different story.
Beverley were totally outplayed in all departments and went down to a heavy defeat in their local derby at Pocklington.
Beverley RUFC will be hoping to make it back to back wins this weekend as they take on local rivals Pocklington in the Northern Division.
What a match. This was thrilling stuff from start to finish with the result not settled until the very last action of the game.
This was an all too familiar Beverley afternoon. Bags of endeavour and wholehearted effort and plenty of the play but in the end nothing to show for it.
What a day for rugby. Incessant rain intermingled with occasional snow persisted throughout and in near freezing temperatures.
