Anthony Posa: “I am looking to put the first half of the season behind us and start on Saturday to play with more shape and belief in ourselves.”
If last week’s dismal showing at Penrith did nothing else it certainly served as a wake-up call for Beverley RUFC. They came back in fine style today to overcome fellow strugglers Morley in an enjoyable and lively encounter at Beaver Park. Both sides desperately needed a win here, Beverley even more than Morley. For over half the match the result hung in the balance with Beverley holding a slender 8-3…
A hugely disappointing day for Beverley RUFC. Both these sides badly needed to produce a top class performance to secure a win and ease their relegation worries. The message had clearly got through to Penrith but Beverley RUFC, sadly, seemed quite oblivious to it. They were frankly unrecognisable from the side that played so well the previous week against Rossendale and were deservedly beaten by a team playing with far…
What a difference a win makes. After a luckless few weeks with numerous injuries and withdrawals Beverley RUFC got themselves off the bottom of the table with a close but well deserved victory against second placed Rossendale at Beaver Park. The game never produced much quality rugby – not surprising given the strength of the raw wind that blew end to end all afternoon – but Beverley RUFC will not…
This report will not be up to the usual standard that readers have come to expect, since our regular reporter arrived at Sandal just before half time after exchanging heated words with his Satnav and just about every motor vehicle between Bingley and Sandal! Clearly he was in no mood to take over my scrap of paper and pencil to continue my efforts. Reading the scoreline it is, perhaps, just…
A rip-roaring game full of non stop rugby from both sides. Quite how Beverley RUFC ended up losing it after almost totally dominating it was a mystery. Even more baffling was how they failed to score a single try despite creating clear cut chances all afternoon. The midfield trio of Phil Duboulay, Junior Tupai and Sam Atiola were simply outstanding and this was probably the best the pack has played…
Another defeat for Beverley RUFC but this was a much improved performance and with the injured players beginning to return there is at last some light at the end of the tunnel. With results elsewhere again going in their favour they still have every chance to make a swift climb up the table. The return here of Sam Atiola to partner Junior Tupai in the centre has clearly restored to…
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…
Not much quality rugby here but Beverley RUFC came out of it with the win they badly needed and a bonus point to go with it. For much of the game Beverley were outplayed and could hardly get their hands on the ball. At 20-7 down early in the second half and penned in their own half they looked to be heading towards another defeat. But the game was completely…
Altrincham Kersal are the visitors to Beaver Park this Saturday for what is an important game for Beverley RUFC. It is important that the Beavers win and win well to avoid being cast adrift at the bottom of the table. Altrincham are struggling at the bottom with Beverley and although neither club is far behind those around them in terms of points at the moment, they will both be anxious…
Birkenhead Park are a most friendly club and their hospitality before and after the game is second to none. But out on their own pitch they are always a tough proposition and Beverley RUFC will not have relished travelling there today with another heavily patched up side. The result was more or less inevitable and it was largely a question of how well Beverley RUFC would acquit themselves. Once again…
Beverley RUFC face the long trip across the Pennines on Saturday, to take on Birkenhead Park in the National League Div 3(North) Fixture. During last Saturday’s heavy defeat at the hands of Bradford & Bingley, the Beavers suffered another blow with hard working prop forward Mike Bradshaw joining the queue in the Physio’s room with a shoulder injury. However, there is a little light at the end of the tunnel…
Good in patches but much of this game was rather messy and unmemorable. Given Beverley RUFC’s parlous injury crisis the result was probably what could have been expected. That they restricted Bradford to only two tries and a conversion in the second half was a credit to Beverley RUFC who had turned round 41-0 down after being heavily outplayed in the first half. In fact the second half was a…
Bevereley RUFC’s injury woes continue this week with the ruling out of fly-half Phil Duboulay with a knee injury,for the visit of Bradford & Bingley to Beaver Park for the National League Division 3(North) fixture. The Beavers can draw comfort from the performance of their patched up side at Chester last week which, although going down to what appears to be a heavy defeat to the league leaders, performed heroically…
Forget the score. In the context of this match the final score was of little relevance. With ten senior players injured – five of them serious long term cases – Beverley RUFC fielded a wholly scratch side against the runaway league leaders who had won all their four games and scored over a hundred points in the process. For Beverley RUFC it was almost the case that anybody taking their…
Beverley RUFC’s season of woe continues as they face up to the most unbelievable injury crisis in memory. Last Saturday’s defeat by Lymm, not only cost them the points but also resulted in serious injuries to lock Matty Adams, flanker David Worrall and outside back Goran Jelencic. Other injuries incurred, although apparently less serious were to stand-off Phil Duboulay, scrum half Chris Infield and winger Rob Smith. Add to these…
Some exciting rugby but not a lot of quality in a game where the win might have gone either way. In the end it was more woe for Beverley RUFC at Beaver Park. They not only lost a match they would have hoped to win but they suffered yet more injuries to senior players. With little experienced backup to call on the situation now looks ominous, particularly with a trip…
Following their disappointing performance at Morley last Saturday where Beverley RUFC, once again fielded a patched up, depleted side and went down by 26 points to 7, they get the chance to make amends when they entertain Lymm at Beaver Park, kick off 3 p.m. Despite the fact that they hope to be in a position to field a more familiar looking side, Beverley RUFC know that they will not…
