The Blue and Golds were outplayed for the majority of this game at the Beverley Leisure Centre by a more experienced opposition.

However the introduction of Guy Adams off the bench perked the Blue and Golds up and one powerful surge from him set up the position for Steve Davidson to twist and turn his…
The blue and golds exited the cup this saturday on their travels to Cottingham. The match was a dour stop start affair not helped by the over zealous interpretation of the rules by the match official which resulted in a continuous stream of penalties awarded against both sides. The home side crossed for two early tries to race to a 12-0 lead. Rob Thompson started the fight back for the…

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…
The blue and golds took the spoils in an encounter which they appeared to possess more big guns than their youthful but enthusiastic opponents but at times made hard work of it. The hosts piled on the pressure early which eventually paid dividends with Gavin Proctor going over from his customary dummy half position in the 10th minute. Shortly after a well worked move amongst the forwards saw popular publican…
In a massive improvement on the previous weeks disjointed effort the blue and golds took home both points on their travels to Bilton on Saturday.
