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….
The blue and golds return to action this Saturday at the Beverley Leisure Centre with a fixture at home to Holderness Vikings. They will certainly be looking to get their season on track which has seen them muster only one league victory thus far this season. Numbers at training and team spirit have remained high during all of this which has left coach Rich Shaw scratching his head as to…
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…
The blue and golds will return to action this Saturday with a fixture at home to Haworth Park. Beverley ARLC fixture at home to Bilton Sully’s was cancelled due to several players from the two sides having bought tickets for the England v Austrailia four nations final. This rendered staging a match impossible. Kick off is 2pm at the Beverley Leisure Centre.
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…
The blue and golds return to action this weekend with a fixture away to Hull Isberg. Coach Rich Shaw is hoping his side can make far more of their chances this week. The two previous outings has seen narrow defeats despite dominating possession and territory for long periods. There are no further injury worries other than the long term injury to Craig Hamlet and Shaw will probably stick with the…
Beverley Braves were under pressure today to not only maintain last week’s performance but also to settle a score as Wyke came confident to the match after a victory in a friendly in the summer months. The coaches knew from the first few minutes whether Beverley were up for the challenge and the answer was a resounding yes as hard tackles hit the away team from the off. They did…
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. They threw almost everything at their opponents in the first 20 minutes but the final decisive pass too often went to ground. It was against the run of play that the visitors took the lead as a result of…
The blue and golds went down to defeat in dissapointing style at the Leisure Centre last Saturday. A stuttering below par performance saw them have ample chances to win the game against a much improved Horners outfit from last season. The hosts started brightly as Steve Davidson’s long pass found Lee Facus out wide who sprinted away and did well to score despite the best efforts of at least 2…
The blue and golds got their first league points of the season in convincing style on their travels to Lambwath last Saturday. Rich Shaw was able to field easily his strongest side thus far this season. Suddenly the prospects for the season look far brighter with team playing as a well organised cohesive unit. They looked far stronger in the pivotal positions with half backs Steve Connolly and Steve Davidson…
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…
The blue and golds managed to field a much beefier side at last weekend and with a little more concentration when they led 20-16 with 20 minutes to go,could well have taken their first league points of the season. They paraded two new signings in second rowers Nathan Wilkinson and Steve White and also welcomed back Gavin Proctor and Steve Davidson to the fold. The hosts took the lead with…
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…
This game was swiftly rearranged when Beverley ARLC’s scheduled opponents Orchard Park pulled out of the fixture as a mark of respect to the sudden and tragic death of their player Danny Orvis at the age of only 28. It proved to be a baptism of fire for the hosts as they were outmuscled by a physically bigger and more experienced side. In a much changed outfit from last season…
The season 2011/2012 finally gets underway for the blue and golds this Saturday with a fixture at home to Orchard Park. It has been a close season of uncertianty across amateur rugby league in this country with teams and some leagues at open age and youth level electing to switch to a March to November season and be part of the RFL’s pyramid structure. However the Hull & District League…
The blue and golds, Beverley ARLC, made the short trip along the M62 to Pontefract for this pre-season friendly. They travelled with a squad of 23 including 7 players from the under 17’s side in a game that allowed unlimited substitutions. The physically bigger West Yorkshire outfit dominated the opening half an hour racing to a 22-0 lead before the visitors started to enjoy greater possession and territory and were…
The blue and golds make the trip to Pontefract this Saturday to play Chequerfield Rangers in a pre-season friendly. The new season will commence the first weekend of September and the picture is now a little clearer as to the make up of the two divisions. West Hull ‘A’,East Hull ‘A’,Skirlaugh ‘A’ and Dockers ‘A’ have left the Hull & District League to play in a March to November season…
Hull FC made light of miserable weather and a greasy ball to achieve their expected victory over Harlequins at the KC Stadium today, running out 38-6 winners. Foul conditions made quality rugby almost impossible but Hull are unlikely to quibble as they got back to winning ways following the disappointing 17-10 derby loss at Hull KR last weekend. For hapless Harlequins it was a seventh straight defeat that sees them…
