Boys Make ‘The Bowl’ Final at the Driffield Festival

Driffield were their first opponents. The boys showed great rucking skills and some strong running. James Ashley and Conor Murphy supported well. There was a try for Oliver Scanlan and two tries for Tom Hirst. An outstanding tackling performance from Max Cowey. Final Score: Beverley 3 Driffield 1.

The next game against Selby was a tougher one. Oliver Scanlan’s tackling stood out and he also scored Beverley RUFC’s only try. Harvey Wilkinson showed strong tackling and is fitting in well in the backs. Oshi Hopson ripped good ball in the rucks. But this game was lost due to missed tackles. Final Score: Beverley 1 Selby 2.

The boys then put in a brilliant performance against Pocklington. Some great tackling here from Max Cowey and Kai Bosworth in particular. Another great run brought Oliver Scanlan a try. Oliver Rogers put in the tackle of the match – saving a try and ensuring a Beverley RUFC victory. Josh Naylor also defended well. Final Score: Beverley 1 Pocklington 0.

Those two victories got the boys into the semi-finals and a tough game against Hullensians. This will be remembered for a brillant running try from Oliver Vaux and a great tackling game from all of the boys, particularly Tom Jackson, Oshi Hopson and Oliver Eagle. Tom Hirst continued to lead the team forward. We were into the final.

The ‘Bowl’ final against Scunthorpe was a tough game. The boys tackled fiercely, but Scunthorpe were brilliantly organised, particularly in the backs, where quick and skillful offloads brought them try after try. Thomas Wheeler made some impressive runs in this game. Oliver Rogers’ determination was rewarded with a try. Another try for Oliver Scanlan. Final Score: Beverley 2 Scunthorpe 5.
