Keighley enjoyed a productive afternoon in East Yorkshire as they beat Beverley 8-22 at .

Beverley were looking to bring an end to a run of defeats. Despite playing well in patches they were simply not good enough to overpower the side from West Yorkshire.

A number of supporters were at Beaver Park and created a good atmosphere on the day. However, there were to be no complaints from those watching or indeed playing about the result.

Beverley had their chance to arguably win the match during a period during the closing stages of the first half and opening stages of the second half.

Skipper Rob Smith converted a penalty in the first period of the game. While with just minutes to go in the game Luke Hazel got what would prove to be a consolation try.
