The visitors were quick out of the traps with two tries in the first 10 minutes. The fightback began when Steve Davidson’s…
As the massive 80-0 scoreline suggests, this game was one-way traffic with Beverley being totally outclassed by a powerful Duke of York side.

The Blue and Golds had only 14 fit players for the game due to injuries, work commitments and a myriad of other reasons. And to add insult to injury,…
The Blue and Golds’ returned to league action at Costello last Saturday and took both league points in less than convincing style. They started promisingly when crisp handling sent Mike Cooper over for a try. The home side replied with a try before Calum O’Connor forced his way over in the corner for the visitors. Then Louis Hubbard made an incisive break faced with options of Gavin Proctor and Lee…
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.

Bilton scored off the resultant set of six and quickly added another score…

The blue and golds exited the cup this saturday on their travels to Cottingham.

As the scoreline suggests this game was mission impossible. The blue and golds travelled to Leeds last Saturday against a side which would certainly not be out of place in the Premier Division of the National Conference if they possessed the facilities to be there. They were physically bigger and oused class and ability from one to thirteen boasting a number of ex professionals in their ranks. There was no…

Shortly after a well worked move amongst the forwards saw popular publican…

Beverley ARLFC’s rugged pack laid the foundations for the Blue and Golds to power into the final of the Ray Speckman Cup.
