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…
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…
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…
The 2011/2012 season opened at Beaver Park, Beverley on Friday evening with Beverley RUFC taking on Hull Ionians in the first round of the Yorkshire Cup before a good sized crowd. An entertaining match was in prospect with National Two (North) side Ionians parading their string of newly signed players against a young National Three (North) Beverley RUFC side. Initial anticipation proved to be correct for this was an absolutely…
The Blue and Golds finally ended the losing streak which has seen them slide down the table, and did so in impressive style. There were a number of star performers. Gavin Proctor marshalled and prompted his troops well from the hooker position while Louis Hubbard claimed a hat trick of tries and demonstrated that he has lost nothing in his spell away in boxing. The half back combination of Steve…
The blue and golds exited the cup this saturday on their travels to Cottingham. The match was a dour stop start affair not helped by the over zealous interpretation of the rules by the match official which resulted in a continuous stream of penalties awarded against both sides. The home side crossed for two early tries to race to a 12-0 lead. Rob Thompson started the fight back for the…
This was a sickening defeat for the blue and golds as they paraded their new strip.The visitors snatched victory with a try in the corner in the final seconds of the game to spoil the party. The hosts twice surrendered a ten point lead, in a game that they appeared to have the measure of their opponents in attack but let themselves down in defence at times. The game started…
The blue and golds took the spoils in an encounter which they appeared to possess more big guns than their youthful but enthusiastic opponents but at times made hard work of it. The hosts piled on the pressure early which eventually paid dividends with Gavin Proctor going over from his customary dummy half position in the 10th minute. Shortly after a well worked move amongst the forwards saw popular publican…
In a massive improvement on the previous weeks disjointed effort the blue and golds took home both points on their travels to Bilton on Saturday. In an entertaining game which saw the lead change hands several times, the stand out performers were Steve Johnson who was invlved in 5 out of 6 of Beverley’s tries and Ian Lane who scored one try and assisted in two others and was a…
Beverley ARLFC’s powerhouse pack laid the foundations for their superb come-from-behind 28-18 Ray Speckman Cup final victory over rivals Cottingham Tigers at Haworth Park on Saturday. In the build-up to the game, blue and golds’ coach Rich Shaw and captain Steve Davidson had talked about the need to muscle up in defence against a pacy Tigers’ side, certain that if they could contain their opponents’ powerful centres their big, bruising…
