The blue and golds came away with two very valuable league points at the end of an eventful afternoon. The designated referee failed to turn up at the scheduled kick off time of 2pm.
The blue and golds had to dig deep for this thoroughly deserved win last Saturday at Bilton. The home side enjoyed a lion’s share of possession and territory in the second half forcing Beverley to defend repeat set after set.

Beverley ARLC went into this fixture with a number of absentees due to work commitments. The two Steve Davidsons were missing as were Adam Norton and Mark Nicholson.

These two sides produced an entertaining encounter at the Beverley Leisure Centre last Saturday which but for the final ten minutes looked as if the result could have gone either way. It was probably the blue and gold’s best performance of the season against a side still unbeaten this season.
This was always going to be a tough encounter on the East coast against a side that will contest the Tom Beeutiman Cup Final against Cottingham Tigers next month but the way the blue and golds played in the opening 30 minutes suggested an unlikely victory.

The blue and golds travelled out to Keyingham last Saturday on a near perfect Spring afternoon welcoming back Lee Stevens, Gavin Platt and Adam Norton from their various work commitments to bolster up the pack.
This was a creditable and encouraging performance by the blue and golds against a side in third place in the league. A combination of suspensions, holiday and work commitments left them without key players
Beverley ARLC bowed out of the Council Cup at the first round stage last Saturday at Costello. In a familiar tale for the visitors. There was effort and enthusiasm aplenty but errors were made at vital stages.
