Beverley RUFC 2nds Suffer Heavy Defeat

February 10, 2010

Beverley 2nds 0 Malton 52 At first viewing the scoreline suggests a totally one sided contest, however for the best part of 50 mins Beverley competed well and  played some good rugby, only a lack of composure, a couple of wrong options and several injuries meant that in the end Malton ran out convincing winners after taking their chances with clinical precision. From the outset Beverley back line took their…

Beverley RUFC Vs Chester RFC Match Report

February 10, 2010

A thrilling game with the result in doubt until the dying minutes.  With two evenly matched sides, lying third and fifth in the table, it was always going to be a tight encounter. On the day Beverley RUFC took their chances better and just about deserved the win.  In the gloomy light and on a heavy pitch this might have been expected to be a forward slog in the mud. …
