Youthful Holderness Vikings Far Too Strong For Beverley

December 11, 2011

The blue and golds entertained the high flyers from Keyingham on Saturday at the Beverley Leisure Centre and it proved to be tough going. The visitors have assembled a formidable side this season which contains many teenagers that were products of their highly successful under 18’s team from the previous season. For much of the game Beverley ARLC were clearly struggling to cope with the slick well organised Vikings attack….

Blue & Golds Lose Despite Leading At Half Time

November 30, 2011

This was a desperately disappointing afternoon for the blue and golds at the Beverley Leisure Centre. A second half capitulation saw them concede 22 points without reply despite leading 12-8 at the break and the Haworth Park outfit having a man dismissed in the 39th minute. The game started poorly for the hosts with Beverley fumbling the kick off and the visitors scored in the corner off the resultant set…

Blue & Golds Suffer Worst Defeat Of Season

November 14, 2011

The blue and golds suffered their heaviest defeat thus far this season on their travels last Saturday. There was no shortage of effort but they were outsmarted by their more youthful opponents as their disappointing run of results continue. They went into the game without their talismanic number nine Gavin Proctor who was sorely missed with the side lacking organisation. The writing was on the wall in the 10th minute…

Fenners Sneak Past Beverley In The Cup

November 1, 2011

The blue and golds bowed out of the Tom Beautiman Cup at the first round stage. They will rue many a missed chance as they squandered quality possession and field position.

It was against the run of play that the visitors took the lead as a result of…

Rich Shaw: Everything Came Together

October 17, 2011

The blue and golds got their first league points of the season in convincing style on their travels to Lambwath last Saturday.

Shaw Comes Out Of Retirement For Haworth Defeat

October 2, 2011

Holiday and work commitments severley depleted Rich Shaw’s squad and left him with only 16 players available. Indeed he was forced to bring himself out of retirement and include himself on the bench. The starting line up was very makeshift with a number of players playing in unacustomed positions. Paul Atkinson was switched to prop and Steve Connolly filled in at hooker. In a game played in near record temparatures…

Beverley Fall Short In Wholehearted Performance

September 12, 2011

The blue and golds, Beverley ARLC again took the field with a side containing several teenagers and were overawed by a more experienced beefier side. They made a reasonable fist of things in the first half trailing only 12-6 at the interval but the floodgates opened in the second half. The writing looked on the wall for the hosts as the visitors swept to 12-0 lead inside the first ten…
