Poor Show From Beavers as Birkenhead Win
Not at all a good day for Beverley RUFC. They were well beaten here and deservedly so by a side which showed far more determination and vigour. Yet early in the second half the game was there for the winning. From 20-0 down Beverley RUFC had clawed their way back to 20-10 and were in total command. Sadly the carelessness which bedevilled them all afternoon caused them inexplicably to lose…
