The fight against relegation for Beverley RUFC continues this Saturday with the visit of Waterloo from Merseyside. The Beavers need to win this game and indeed, all of their remaining home games which are against Sandal and Burnage
A humdinger of a match. Eighty minutes of thrilling rugby and it all ended appropriately in a tense and nailbiting finale. Had Phil Duboulay’s conversion attempt from the touchline with the last action of the match not narrowly dropped the wrong side of the crossbar
Following up on last Saturday’s excellent win against Birkenhead Park, Beverley RUFC take on league leaders and probable champions Darlington Mowden Park at Beaver Park on Saturday.
Against a side with seven wins out of eight this was always going to be a tough game for Beverley RUFC. They stuck at it well in the first half and at the interval trailed only 16-3 but in the second half they were totally outplayed and finally went down to a heavy defeat. After the great spirit shown in recent games when playing against the odds with a makeshift…
Having ended their losing streak with a sketchy win over fellow strugglers Altrincham Kersal last weekend, Beverley RUFC head north to high flying Darlington Mowden Park on Saturday. Whilst their confidence cannot be said to be fully restored yet, last week’s win and bonus point has certainly helped to ease the situation and the return of some of the injured players obviously helped. Dave Worrall, in particular, made a huge…
This weekend Beverley RUFC make the relatively short trip to the West Riding to take on Sandal RFC in the National League 3 (North) fixture. Lying just 1 place above the Beavers in the league table, Sandal have won 2 more games than Beverley RUFC and will be a tough proposition on their own ground. Certainly Beverley RUFC will need to play a lot better than they did last week…
At last some rugby. After five weeks of snow and frozen grounds Beverley RUFC finally got back into action, albeit on a heavy-going second-team pitch. They might have wished they had had another week off. They certainly looked the rustier of the two sides here and could hardly complain at a thirteen points defeat. With their half backs away in Australia for the rest of the season and several other…
Beverley RUFC returned to action after a long layoff but were beaten by visitors Darlington Mowden Park. Beverley, not for the first time this season, gifted their opponents an early lead in a game that Mowden Park won 30-17. The Beavers did score two tries, James McKay and Manu Kirkwood both crossing the line. Both the tries were converted by Phil Dale, and Jamie Gill added a late penalty goal….
Beverley RUFC are hoping to resume their National League 3 (North) campaign this weekend with a home game against Darlington Mowden Park after a lay-off due to weather and the Christmas holiday stretching back to November 20th, when they beat Penrith by 30 points to 0. Naturally the weather is still a factor in the pitch condition and the club officials are keeping a close eye on things, The heavy…
Saturday sees Beverley RUFC entertaining Sandal in what is sure to be yet another tough encounter. Having, for the third week in succession, allowed their opponents to build up an apparently unassailable lead with only 15 or 20 minutes to go last weekend at Darlington Mowden Park, the Beavers suddenly started to play as we know they can and, given another 5 minutes would probably have won all three games….
Beverley RUFC travel to the North East on Saturday to face Darlington Mowden Park in their National League 3(North) fixture, kick off 3 p.m. They will be looking to pick up a win to overcome the disappointment of last week’s narrow defeat by Stockport. Both the Beavers and Stockport played some cracking rugby in a highly entertaining game and it has to be said that, had Beverley started with the…
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…

Darlington Mowden Park 36 Beverley 21 – After a disastrous first twenty minutes which left them trailing 21-5 Beverley steadily clawed their way back to 21-all only to succumb to two late tries and go down to a convincing defeat. It was a strange game. There was plenty of good rugby on view but for Beverley also plenty of frustration. Time and again when they should have kept the ball…
Beverley head to the North East on Saturday for the first of several trips to the area this season, for the National League 3 fixture against Darlington Mowden Park. Park have been a force in Northern rugby for a number of years but have slipped of late and were relegated last season from the old National league. Nonetheless they seem to have strengthened their squad somewhat for this season and…
