Following a much improved display last Saturday against West Hartlepool where, despite losing by 13 points to 9, Beverley were by far the better team on the day and lost the game largely due to three vital and very dubious decisions going against them, the Beavers head to Sandal reinforced with more confidence than for a long while. Richard Bussey, Francis Pickering and Craig Hancock all came through their return…
In wet damp conditions AFC Tickton played some of their best football and were well worth the maximum points from the two games. From the keeper through to the forwards AFC Tickton players never let the Manager and coaching staff down giving 100% in both games. All credit to Pelican Utd who played there part in two good close matches. AFC Tickton Thunders next Games are away to Driffield Cobras….

Hodgsons then provided a pie & pea supper before they got down to the main reason for the night, the presentations. The teams and…
The second race in the East Yorkshire Cross-Country League took place last Sunday over a challenging 6.6 mile course around Drewton Wold near South Cave. It was a misty and mild autumn morning and conditions were mainly dry underfoot with a couple of muddy sections. The undulating route took runners through woodland, along footpaths and round field edges. The scenery was spectacular and enjoyed by all athletes as they tackled…
AFC Tickton came into these games full of confidence after two good away wins against Withernsea. In the first match AFC Tickton managed to take the win with some great football. In the second game it wasn’t so easy for AFC Tickton, though they got off to the perfect start with an early goal; North Ferriby started to play the ball around and was causing the Tickton defence a few…

A rip-roaring game full of non stop rugby from both sides. Quite how Beverley RUFC ended up losing it after almost totally dominating it was a mystery. Even more baffling was how they failed to score a single try despite creating clear cut chances all afternoon. The midfield trio of Phil Duboulay, Junior Tupai and Sam Atiola were simply outstanding and this was probably the best the pack has played…

This was always going to be a massive match for the Beverley Braves, playing top side West Hull, who are undefeated in the league, but they could never had guessed just how tough this was going to be. West Hull scored within only a few minutes after mistakes by the Braves gave the opposition the ball. A few of the lads had different roles to play today but West Hull…

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…

Molescroft Rangers overcame the Lord Nelson at the Beverley Leisure Centre. This East Riding County League fixture saw the bottom two clubs face each other.

AFC Tickton lost to Bridlington Rangers in the 2nd round of the East Riding Cup. AFC Tickton started the game with only ten men due to injuries and could not contain a strong Bridlington side, which by the first half were three goals up. Matthew Linton replaced Connell Stonehouse in goal and although he managed to pull off some good saves there was no stopping Bridlington who went on to…

Three athletes from Beverley Athletic Club travelled to Ripley near Harrogate last Sunday to run the Guy Fawkes 10 road race. This is a very challenging event with several serious climbs. The course was made even tougher this year by a slight change to the route. Steve Hadley chose this race to attempt to return to his former form and finish in less than 90 minutes for the ten-mile distance. …
