Beverley were beaten 20-10 by Barrow Island in a match that was always going to be a tough ask going to Cumbria against a promotion-chasing outfit towards the end of what has been a difficult campaign.
Blue and Golds coach Sam French described his team’s 60-4 loss at Clock Face Miners as very disappointing.
Always speaking in defence of his players, Sam French commented how it was a very disappointing day, adding that his side is busted at the moment and also missing over 15 players.

The Blue and Golds will see this as another missed opportunity to pull away from the relegation zone. Having fallen 12-0 behind after only
10 minutes, they responded fantastically with 4 well-worked tries to lead 18-12 at the break. The second half proved to be a disappointment as they had to do far too much defending and struggled to create chances in attack.
