Beverley Rugby League Club held their annual presentation dinner last Saturday at the Hodgsons. Around 70 players, girlfriends and family attended the event, where the special guest was former Hull FC star Tevita Vaikona. Chairman Graham Ostler thanked sponsors Adams Tyres, Acklams Coaches and the Durham Ox for their support, as well as Hodgsons for their hospitality. It proved to be a big evening for full-back Lee Falcus who scooped…
The blue and golds ended their league season at the Beverley Leisure Centre in dissapointing style. Not for the first time this season, they let a winning position slip when they led 24-14 midway through the second half having clawed their way back from an initial 10-0 defecit. The visitors were quick out of the traps with two tries in the first 10 minutes. The fightback began when Steve Davidson’s…
Two tries apiece from Louis Hubbard and Aaron Horsfield weren’t enough to stop Beverley ARLC bowing out of the Council Trophy after a 44-26 defeat at Bilton Sully’s. The match was lost in the first half as the home side monopolised possession to go in 30-10 ahead, although when Beverley did manage to get some possession they did look dangerous. After the hosts drew first blood with a try in…
This Saturday Beverley ARLC travel to face Hull Isberg hoping turn round a losing run that seen them drop to fourth from bottom. Last weekend the Blue and Golds were involved in a very tough and competitive encounter despite the decisive score line in favour of Embassy. On a very damp and dismal afternoon both sides were engaged in an arm-wrestle for the first 30 minutes before the visitors finally…
The Blue and Golds threw away a winning position yet again at the Leisure Centre last Saturday. They led 12-0 after only 20 minutes but slipped to their most disappointing defeat of the season against a side that was there for the taking. The hosts scored with almost their first attack with Liam Lane going over after only three minutes for a try converted by Steve Jonson. They then immediately…
In a game of two halves the Blue and Golds claimed both points in a bruising encounter at the Roy Waudby Complex last Saturday. The early exchanges were brutal with big hits aplenty. Finally after a spell of sustained pressure, in which Louis Hubbard seemed to be taking on the whole Cottingham side single handedly, Steve Davidson crashed over wide out to give the visitors the lead. Louis Hubbard went…
The Blue and Golds let a lead slip for the second successive week and went down to a very disappointing defeat at the Beverley Leisure Centre on Saturday. Leading 12-6 midway through the second half and seemingly in the ascendancy, a restart kick was allowed to go into touch allowing the visitors possession in the Beverley half. Bilton scored off the resultant set of six and quickly added another score…
The blue and golds were in action for the first time in six weeks last Saturday when they travelled to Keyingham on a bright but bitterly cold afternoon. They went down to defeat despite leading 20-18 with only 15 minutes to go. It was a performance packed with pride and effort and only the odd mistake which seemed to be punished on every occasion proved to be their undoing. They…
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…
The blue and golds will embark on their extremely tough tie in the 2nd round of the BARLA Yorkshire Cup this Saturday. They will travel to Leeds to play Queens. Coach Rich Shaw commented ” People are expecting us to suffer a heavy defeat or even concede the tie but we are determined to come away with our pride intact. ” So far this season the Beverley have not exactly…
The blue and golds will consider this one a point lost rather than a point gained from this trip to Hull University. They attempted to play adventurously in blustery conditions which resulted in some spectacular tries but at times they made one pass too many when a more direct style of play was required. On a day when many players were having an off day the man of the match…
