Beverley RUFC won the World Cup 10s this Saturday at Beaver Park. Beverley beat Hull in the final with tries from Dave Worrall, Sam Atiola and the Beavers new captain Junior Tupai. Tupai captained a team that included former Beverley United manager Daniel Williams. Williams who has not been seen on the local sports circuit for some time looked as though he may have discovered his perfect sport. Scoring a…
The final day victory that kept Beverley RUFC in Division Three North proved beyond a shadow of a doubt they deserved to stay in the division. They showed, with a full-strength team and with their minds fully on the job, they can compete with anyone in the division. Middlesborough found that out emphatically at Beaver Park on Saturday. Tries from Sam Atiola and Junior Tupai in the first period, and…
Beverley RUFC preserved their place in League Three North with a fine win in this dramatic relegation showdown. Beverley RUFC needed two points to ensure their survival; only a victory would do for Middlesbrough. In the end it was all fairly emphatic once Beverley RUFC had got the bit between their teeth. Early on they looked distinctly edgy and for twenty minutes they struggled to get their act together. Graham…
Another excellent victory over fellow strugglers took Beverley RUFC to relative safety from relegation. But not quite. One more win from their last two games would be enough to ensure survival although this will not be necessary if Waterloo are defeated at Middlesbrough next week. Otherwise even now it could still be a very tight finish. With so much at stake this was always going to be a dog-eats-dog encounter. …
An excellent day for Beverley RUFC. Not only did they soundly defeat one of their fellow relegation strugglers but they picked up a four try bonus point and did it all in some style. Middlesbrough are a tough side to beat at Acklam Park and with three wins and a draw in their last four matches they probably fancied their chances here. But Beverley RUFC imposed themselves from the outset…
Beverley RUFC were well beaten in this Yorkshire Cup quarter final game and Hull RUFC now go on to meet Cleckheaton in the semi-final. Neither club sent out its strongest side and Beverley RUFC with their minds concentrated on their league relegation battle fielded a side almost entirely made up of second team juniors. On the whole the young players acquitted themselves well but they were really no match for…
A gripping match and a real cliff-hanger. Beverley RUFC got there in the end but it was a mighty close thing. Six times the lead changed hands as both sides went flat out for victory to ease their relegation fears. Only three points now separate five clubs two of whom will join Rochdale in the drop. For Beverley RUFC this win will have done them a power of good after…
Another disappointing day for Beverley RUFC. With the clubs below them rapidly closing the gap both these sides needed a win to breathe a bit easier, Beverley RUFC especially. Sadly Beverley RUFC carried on where they left off last week and were again soundly beaten. The result is that they are now firmly in the relegation mix. Particularly worrying is that at the moment they look rudderless and a pale…
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…
Not much vintage rugby here. Beverley won in the end but they made hard work of it. Rochdale are rooted at the foot of the table and almost certainly facing relegation but they never gave this one up and they might easily have won. Only when David Worrall burst through for a try ten minutes from time could Beverley finally breathe easily. Beverley got the four league points and their…
After playing some thrilling rugby in recent weeks, Beverley RUFC were disappointingly back to their most frustrating here and could have few complaints about this defeat. Beverley were ponderous throughout and with more performances like this will be in danger of getting dragged into a relegation struggle. After twenty minutes Beverley RUFC were twelve points down after Billingham twice pounced on poor Beverley passes to score two tries. Eventually Beverley…
A pulsating match and a thrilling finish. A Phil Dale penalty five minutes from time looked to have won it for Beverley but Bradford came back again at the very death to snatch victory with a last gasp penalty. For half the match Bradford gave Beverley RUFC the run-around with some superb back play and it looked like Beverley were in for a mauling as the visitors cruised to an…
What a match. This was a thrilling encounter played at a great pace with the result in doubt until the very end. It was an afternoon full of expectation, both these teams being capable of playing exhilarating rugby. And they did not disappoint. Chester are a fine well organised side going flat out for promotion and to have emerged triumphant against such a polished outfit was perhaps one of Beverley…
Beverley RUFC entertain Chester this Saturday at Beaver Park, kick-off 2.15 p.m., in what should be an enthralling encounter. Chester have been in the top two in the league table all season and, although they slipped up last Saturday and dropped back to third place, they will provide stern opposition for the Beavers. For their part Beverley completely revised their tactics and game plan last Saturday at Sandal and picked…
What a difference a week makes. After their previous week’s fairly dismal return to action Beverley RUFC produced here some of their best rugby of the season. Although they slightly ran out of steam in the second half in the heavy going and playing up the slope their effort throughout was superb. Neither backs nor forwards could be faulted as they moved the ball about fluently and with plenty of…
Only driving rain prevented this from being a real cracker. Fixtures between these two sides nearly always produce close hard fought encounters and this one promised to be no exception. In the end it proved to be Beverley’s day, fairly comfortably as it turned out. The game was played in a great spirit. Both sides gave it everything and made light of the conditions but Beverley were that bit quicker…
A moment of carelessness twenty minutes from time put an end to any chance Beverley might have had of getting something out of this game. Birkenhead held a narrow lead at 10-7 and at that stage it was still anybody’s match. Beverley made a mess of a lineout and this led to a converted Birkenhead try. It proved to be the defining moment of the match. After that it was…
After a string of narrow defeats which left them sitting alarmingly low in the league Beverley badly needed this victory. For most of the time the fast flowing rugby played by both sides matched the fine autumn sunshine. Well, it did for the first half at any rate. In the second half Beverley rather lost their way. They got off to a sensational start. After only three minutes Junior Tupai…
