Not at all a good day for Beverley RUFC. They were well beaten here and deservedly so by a side which showed far more determination and vigour. Yet early in the second half the game was there for the winning. From 20-0 down Beverley RUFC had clawed their way back to 20-10 and were in total command. Sadly the carelessness which bedevilled them all afternoon caused them inexplicably to lose…

The race at Summerhill was hosted by Hartlepool Burn Road Harriers and is considered the toughest in the series. The hilly course was made even more demanding by the extremely muddy conditions. Each lap also involved a stream crossing and three steep hills. Seven children represented…
Ellis Horsfield was left to rue a poor second-half performance as his Molescroft FC side crashed to a 5-1 defeat at home to Costello Lions.

But things did not go to plan in the second-half as the Lions showed their killer instinct to fire home four…

When the Braves finally got the ball they did not capitalise as they have in previous games despite Jamie Branton taking the ball into the pack well. Beverley threw the ball around but they could not keep hold of it in sticky conditions. There was…
