Beverley RUFC travel to Merseyside on Saturday to take on West Park St. Helens in their final game of the season. Whilst the Beavers are comfortable in seventh place in the league table West Park are fighting a survival battle at the bottom and will surely be desperate for a win to maintain their slim chances of avoiding relegation. They are only eight points adrift of safety with a game…
Beverley RUFC came close to causing an upset in the 2nd round of the Yorkshire Cup. Beverley faced a tough test in Hull RUFC but started the game strongly taking the lead with penalty kick. Hull responded well and looked to be running away with the match. Beverley RUFC dug in and a good second half performance saw them score two twice bringing them within 3 points of Hull. Late…
Plenty of good rugby but overall a strange game. For Beverley RUFC it was a curate’s egg performance – good and bad in about equal measure. For twenty five minutes they played some cracking stuff, were leading 17-5, and looked as though they would romp away with it. Then unaccountably it all went wrong and after that, apart from the last ten minutes, all the good rugby came from Darlington…

This weekend’s visitors to Beaver Park for Beverley RUFC’s scheduled National League 3 fixture are Darlington Mowden Park. In the corresponding fixture at Darlington last October, the Beavers lost 21-36, but felt that the 15 point margin did not reflect the game. Only a 10 minute first half blast whilst Beverley regrouped after the loss of Goran Jelencic, allowed Darlington to score 14 points without reply. Beverley will be out…
Beverley RUFC rounded off their club’s fiftieth anniversary celebrations with a fine win in the spring sunshine at Beaver Park. It was hard and physical but always an enjoyable game to watch. From the early stages a victory for Beverley RUFC always looked probable but for half an hour they made heavy weather of it and at the interval all they had to show for their domination was a single…

Beverley RUFC face West Hartlepool in what is their first home game since 6 February and will be hoping to return to winning ways. West have been plagued by relegation worries all season and have languished in the bottom three for most of the season. The Beavers won the fixture in Hartlepool by 39 points to 5 back in early December and will be keen to repeat that performance on…
Beverley RUFC 2nds produced arguably their best performance of the season against a spirited Driffield side and in the process scored 55 points for the second week running. Looking at the score line you could have been forgiven for thinking the conditions were suited to fast open running rugby, however the game was very nearly a victim of the weather as constant rain had left the pitch with areas of…
The Beverley Bandits put on a fine show in conditions that were more suited to mud wrestling then rugby. The Bandits battered their way through the game as a string of Winthernsea players needed to leave the field through injury leaving match officials little choice but to end the match early at Beaver Park.

Beverley paid the price for one dreadful lapse in defence to go down to a narrow defeat at league leaders Stockport. The wet conditions meant the game was fairly error-strewn and often scrappy, but it was exciting and enjoyable for all that. It was played throughout in a good spirit for which great credit is due to the refereeing of Simon Lazenby who kept it flowing with the minimum of…
Action rugby pictures from Beaver Park where the Beverley RUFC 2nd XV took on local rivals Driffield. In soaking wet conditions it was Beverley who came away victorious scoring plenty of tries in terrible conditions. That’s just not on, a Driffield back attempts to trip a Beverley player in a weak attempt to stop them scoring! HU17.net Picture Gallery: Click on the thumbnail picture below to enlarge the image to…
Once again Beverley RUFC head over the Pennines to take on table topping Stockport. Once again the Beavers will be looking to halt their recent slide and, on the face of it, they face a tremendous task. However, they will take heart from their performance last week at Rossendale when, were it not for some extremely over zealous use of yellow cards by a very poor referee, they would almost…
Beverley 2nds made the trip across the Humber Bridge to take on Scunthorpe IVs at short notice after original opponents Marist called off late on Thursday evening. Even with this late change of fixture the Beavers were still able to travel with a squad of 18 to take on side they had narrowly beat at Beaver Park 12-7 less than a month ago. Last week Beverley were 17 nil behind…
Over zealous brandishing of yellow cards spoilt what would have been a cracking game at Rossendale. Ironically it was a match played throughout in a good spirit with both sides intent on fast open rugby. Almost certainly it would have been a tight contest between two sides which before the rash of the yellow carding looked to be evenly matched and both up for the win. Beverley RUFC took the…
Rugby action from Beaver Park where the Beverley Bandits finally got to play after a very long lay off as they took on Riding Vikings. Beverley were on top through out the game though the in the second half the Vikings played better and creating chances to score.

Beverley RUFC head over the Pennines again this Saturday when they visit Rossendale in the National League 3 (North) fixture. This will be the third of four consecutive away fixtures for the Beavers and they will be hoping to end their depressing run of defeats which have seen them slip down the league table to seventh place. Their task has not been made easy this week by injury and unavailability…
