This was another disappointing day for Beverley RUFC who were well beaten for the second week running by a side battling to avoid relegation. After a fine run in mid season they look for the moment to have rather lost their way; in fact an unknowing spectator today would scarcely have guessed that of the two sides it was Rochdale who were the relegation threatened side. They went into this…

Beverley RUFC 2nds travelled to Bridlington hoping to avenge a heavy defeat the last time the two sides met. Despite the late loss of influential back rower Martin Shaw to an early morning groin injury and another couple of no shows from the selected squad the Beavers had a much stronger team than their previous visit to Dukes Park in November and made strong start after a somewhat lacklustre warm…
This was a real thriller with the result in doubt until the very end. Fixtures between these two sides invariably produce fast enjoyable encounters and this was no exception. Their two games this season have yielded a total of 88 points with only a margin of two points difference between the sides. Today it was once again a nail-biting affair in which Penrith snatched victory with a penalty at the…

Beverley travelled to Leeds Corinthians after there great win against Pocklington last week. There was a bad start both on and off the pitch with coach Chris “wham-bam” Dexter forgetting the kit resulting in Beverley having to wear a Leeds Corinthians strip. The game also started slow as Beverleys forwards underestimated Leeds and therefore lost alot of ball due to this, after almost a full half of both teams playing…

Beverley RUFC travel the relatively short distance to Morley this Saturday to take on table toppers Morley RUFC in the National League 3 fixture. The Beavers themselves have been gradually creeping up the league table and are now in 5th place. Considering the bad run of injuries that they have experienced this season and the small squad that they have, this is a remarkable achievement. Last week they turned in…
Beverley 2nds 0 Malton 52 At first viewing the scoreline suggests a totally one sided contest, however for the best part of 50 mins Beverley competed well and played some good rugby, only a lack of composure, a couple of wrong options and several injuries meant that in the end Malton ran out convincing winners after taking their chances with clinical precision. From the outset Beverley back line took their…
A thrilling game with the result in doubt until the dying minutes. With two evenly matched sides, lying third and fifth in the table, it was always going to be a tight encounter. On the day Beverley RUFC took their chances better and just about deserved the win. In the gloomy light and on a heavy pitch this might have been expected to be a forward slog in the mud. …

Thankfully both have recovered well and have been influential in the Beavers’recent…
