Within just a few minutes Beverley found themselves 6 points down as they were caught off guard and could not contain any of the fantastic runs from the strong Dockers lads. Dylan Clifford…
The Blue and Golds progressed to second round of the Council Cup and were good value for their win which could have been by a much bigger margin. The referee disallowed at least four touchdowns two of which were very borderline forward passes. On a very cold afternoon the hosts started brightly with Craig Hamlet diving over wide out following some slick handling. Rob Thompson added the difficult conversion. There…
Although Beverley was ready to take on the Tigers it was Cottingham who were the stronger side from the whistle and they held possession well. When the Braves finally got the ball they did not capitalise as they have in previous games despite Jamie Branton taking the ball into the pack well. Beverley threw the ball around but they could not keep hold of it in sticky conditions. There was…
This Saturday Beverley ARLC travel to face Hull Isberg hoping turn round a losing run that seen them drop to fourth from bottom.

The Beverley Braves’ lads were really ready for a game of rugby after a lengthy lay off and this showed as from the whistle blew they flew at the opposition.

An excellent kick from Owen Harrison…

Beverley ARLC opponents have returned to the Hull & District League this season following a 2 year absence and have been one of the pacesetters losing only four times this season.

The Blue and Golds threw away a winning position yet again at the Leisure Centre last Saturday. They led 12-0 after only 20 minutes but slipped to their most disappointing defeat of the season against a side that was there for the taking.

Beverley Braves were not fired up for this game like the previous week but still fought hard against old rivals East Hull.

He continued this impressive tackling throughout the match. Braves struggled to get out their own…
Beverley ARLC were again beaten at the Beverley Leisure Centre by Myton Warriors ARLC in front of a big crowd. The visitors who have moved down a league capitalised or Beverley’s mistakes and made sure they took advantage of them.

In a game of two halves the Blue and Golds claimed both points in a bruising encounter at the Roy Waudby Complex last Saturday. The early exchanges were brutal with big hits aplenty.

Louis Hubbard went…
The Blue and Golds let a lead slip for the second successive week and went down to a very disappointing defeat at the Beverley Leisure Centre on Saturday.

Bilton scored off the resultant set of six and quickly added another score…
The blue and golds were in action for the first time in six weeks last Saturday when they travelled to Keyingham on a bright but bitterly cold afternoon. They went down to defeat despite leading 20-18 with only 15 minutes to go. It was a performance packed with pride and effort and only the odd mistake which seemed to be punished on every occasion proved to be their undoing. They…
The blue and golds will hopefully get their first taste of action this Saturday since their victory over Fenners way back on November 20th as they travel to Keyingham to play their country rivals Holderness Vikings. Lack of match fitness will be the main worry for coach Rich Shaw but is a problem for all teams during the inclement weather that has decimated local sport over the past six weeks….
Beverley ARLC squad celebrated Christmas with a pub crawl around Beverley. To add to the occasion they sported ‘distasteful’ Christmas jumpers, some clearly worse than others.

The half back combination of Steve…
