Beverley Under 15s travelled to Dinnington RUFC against one of the stronger sides in Yorkshire knowing that this would be a tough encounter.
Beverley gave a first start to second row Oliver Waites, and due to bare minimum numbers the versatile Cameron Lawley slotted into hooker, Tom Barnard returning to 10 and Alex Nuttall covering full back position.
Beverley U15s lost a tightly contested match against Leeds-based Roundhegians, but will hopefully learn some important lessons from the defeat.
With their regular fly-half absent the Beverley backs were forced to reshuffle but, with developing strength-in-depth within the squad, this can’t be used as an excuse for losing a match that could have been won.
Beverley Beavers U9s saw off Bridlington RUFC in their second game of the season. There was lots to praise and glimpses of brilliance throughout the game.
Given that the team have only recently got to grips with the contact game we saw barn storming runs, followed by well executed tackles, and efficient presentation of the ball.
Beverley RUFC kicked off on a wet and blustery afternoon at Beaver Park to start this Yorkshire Division 1 fixture, and immediately mounted an assault on the Keighley line.
But, largely due to determined defence by Keighley, were unable to capitalise on their possession of the ball in the early exchanges. In fact during this early period Keighley were unable to hang on to the ball for long enough to get out of their own half.
Beverley Rugby Union Football Club Under 9’s team played their first match of the season against Malton on Sunday.
The players were eagerly looking forward to this match, in which they were allowed to play full contact rugby for the first time.
Beverley Under 15s played a ferocious end to end against Yarnbury (Leeds) in the 2nd round preliminary of the Yorkshire Cup this weekend.
The two sides had met for the first time last season and as expected this would be another close game.
This was more like it. Not a great performance by any means but vastly improved from the dismal showing of the previous week and in the end a comfortable bonus point win.
In truth as a spectacle this was a pretty drab affair with not much running rugby and a relentless stream of penalties being awarded throughout.
Beverley U15s welcomed Goole to Beaver Park for a first-round Yorkshire Cup tie just two weeks after losing to them in an early-season friendly.
Coming back to near full-strength after injury lay-offs over recent weeks presented the u15s with a chance to redress the balance, and a strong and intelligent display from the full squad saw them contain and dismantle a capable and expansive Goole team.
Pray let it be a long time before we endure another afternoon like this. This was a truly awful game.
There was plenty of huffing and puffing and it was all played in a good spirit but the quality hardly ever rose above the mediocre. What little constructive rugby there was came from Hullensians who fully deserved their comfortable victory.
Beverley RUFC U13s got off to the perfect start as they beat Moortown RUFC 25 -10 at Beaver Park to progress into the second round of the Yorkshire Cup.
Sammy England opened the scoring for the Beavers after great work by the team opened up the Moortown defence.
Beverley RUFC continued their good start to the season following the Yorkshire Cup first round win away against Pocklington with a resounding 43 – 0 home win against York.
This win was against a sadly depleted York team who started with fourteen players and Beverley were soon able to make their player advantage count.
A confident and expansive Beverley 15s performance saw them dominate a stunned Ionians team.
Turning up with an under-strength squad meant the Ionians coach requested a reduction in player numbers, and the loan of players through the match.
Beverley came under pressure immediately after losing the kick-off and Rishworthians camped in Beverley’s 22. After 9 minutes they were awarded the inevitable penalty and Josh Kelly made the score 3-0 to the home side.
The pressure continued and things looked ominous for the Beavers when Rishworthian’s tricky young winger Joe Billing sliced through for an excellent try which Josh Kelly duly converted to make it 10-0.
Beverley RUFC Colts were knocked out of the Yorkshire Cup by Pocklington on the ‘Away Team’ rule after they drew 12-12 at Beaver Park.
Pocklington enjoyed the lion share of possession and territory though it was Beverley who took the lead when Brandon Leggett broke through to run 50 yards to score.
Beverley RUFC registered their fist with on the season as they beat Middlesbrough 28-12 at Beaver Park to go fourth in the Yorkshire Division One table.
On the pitch the Beavers fielded a new look like side with some making their first team debuts in a match against a side like Beverley lost on the opening day.
Beverley Under 15s travelled to Goole for match which will be repeated in the Yorkshire Cup in two weeks time.
Goole claimed advantage this time round with a good win in what turned out to be a very competitive game from the kick off.
