Beverley Town U15s were beaten by East Riding B at Longcroft School. Beverley dominated the game but were unable to take their chances, apart from a goal Rob Moore. Manager Barry Toynton named centre half Andy McGonnigle as the Man of the Match. He said; “It is hard to believe we were beaten, even their coach was surprised and said as much to me after the match.” Final score Beverley…
The Blue and Golds let a lead slip for the second successive week and went down to a very disappointing defeat at the Beverley Leisure Centre on Saturday. Leading 12-6 midway through the second half and seemingly in the ascendancy, a restart kick was allowed to go into touch allowing the visitors possession in the Beverley half. Bilton scored off the resultant set of six and quickly added another score…
What a difference a week makes. After their previous week’s fairly dismal return to action Beverley RUFC produced here some of their best rugby of the season. Although they slightly ran out of steam in the second half in the heavy going and playing up the slope their effort throughout was superb. Neither backs nor forwards could be faulted as they moved the ball about fluently and with plenty of…
Molescroft Rangers kept in touch with the top two with an excellent performance away to Skidby played on a sloping pitch in high winds not conducive to attractive football. Moley almost had the luxury of naming an unchanged side but with keeper Bryce still away in Afghanistan physical man mountain and driving instructor Matthew Spencer was brought in goal with Manager Healey moving utility player and part time porn star…
Beverley Whitestar ‘Falcons’ were held at home by Hornsea Sporting at the Beverley Leisure Centre. The point keeps the Falcons within one point of League leaders Westella Willerby AFC who won 3 – 2 at Brayton Belles. The Falcons are now unbeaten in 8 league games, next up are the Driffield Wildcats who are currently 5th in the league 9 points behind the Falcons. HU17.net Picture Gallery: Click on the…
Hodgsons Reserves left it late to overcome bottom of the league Long Riston at the Beverley Leisure Centre. The match remained goalless until the mid way through the second half when Hodgsons took the lead. Long Riston equalised though two late goals from the home side were enough to earn all three points, winning 3 – 1. The win keeps Hodgsons Reserves in touch with County League Divison 2 leaders…
Hodgsons FC travelled to North Cave where they played their first league match of 2011. The Tanners returning to the ground where they won the league title last season had a much tougher fixture in this top of the table clash with Cave. Hodgsons opened the scoring after Adam Foster played Danny Cartwright in; Cartwright calmly lifted the ball over the stranded North Cave keeper giving the Tanners a first…
Young Beverley racer Jordan Rushby is looking forward to an exciting year after confirming his ride for the coming Superteen season. Jordan has confirmed he will be riding an Aprilia RS 125cc bike for the 2011 season, during which he’ll race at some of the country’s most famous tracks. Jordon already has sponsors, Strattons Motorcycles, Moto GB and Roclad Systems, though requires more backing to raise the £15K needed for the season. Jordan will rub…
Junior and senior runners from Beverley Athletic Club are celebrating their success at the Yorkshire and Humberside Cross-Country Championships which took place at the Northern Racing College near Doncaster last weekend. The annual championships attract a strong field of runners from running clubs in the region and Beverley Athletic Club was represented in all age categories from under-13 juniors to senior men and women. For the second year in succession…
This weekend Beverley RUFC make the relatively short trip to the West Riding to take on Sandal RFC in the National League 3 (North) fixture. Lying just 1 place above the Beavers in the league table, Sandal have won 2 more games than Beverley RUFC and will be a tough proposition on their own ground. Certainly Beverley RUFC will need to play a lot better than they did last week…
Beverley Whitestar Bulldogs started the New Year with a win and a good display of passing football. Although Bulldogs have been without a competitive game since early November it didn’t show as they confined their visitors to their own half for much of the game. Bulldogs moved well down the flanks with nice touches between midfield and the front runners. George Woods went close for Bulldogs with a rasping shot…
Beverley Whitestar Tigers just edged an exciting and hard fought Cup semi-final against Westella & Willerby. Following a 3-1 league defeat the previous week all the Tigers players knew they would have to lift their game, if they were to have any chance of competing with their Myton League opponents. Westella got off to a good start playing downhill and with the wind behind them and they pressured for much…
Beverley Whitestar Athletic moved into overdrive in this their opening league fixture of 2011. A lightening start saw Whitestar pressure the North Ferriby goal. A close range effort from centre forward James Ayre was parried by the keeper but it was deflected over the line for a goal by a Ferriby defender. Beverley continued to play with great authority, next coming close when Matty James drifted a shot just past…
The blue and golds were in action for the first time in six weeks last Saturday when they travelled to Keyingham on a bright but bitterly cold afternoon. They went down to defeat despite leading 20-18 with only 15 minutes to go. It was a performance packed with pride and effort and only the odd mistake which seemed to be punished on every occasion proved to be their undoing. They…
At last some rugby. After five weeks of snow and frozen grounds Beverley RUFC finally got back into action, albeit on a heavy-going second-team pitch. They might have wished they had had another week off. They certainly looked the rustier of the two sides here and could hardly complain at a thirteen points defeat. With their half backs away in Australia for the rest of the season and several other…
The Eager Beaver crashed out of the quarter final of the Sponsors Cup losing 2–1 to Ryder FC. The side from West Hull took the lead inside the first 10 minutes and added a second goal mid-way through the first half. After the restart the Eager Beaver played with more purpose, the introduction of Danny Moon proved to be a managerial master stroke. Karl Fisher found space to play and…
Mill Lane United switched their game with Barrel Walkington after Broadgates was deemed unplayable. United were well beaten as Walkington cruised to a 3 – 1 win. Brad Palin scored late on for Barrel Walkington as well as being named as Man of the Match.

A ring rusty Molescroft completed a league double over FC Ridings despite making hard work of the game in the second half after racing into a 4-0 lead in the first 45 minutes. After seven weeks off Molescroft Rangers could be forgiven for being slow to start but it was anything but as they quickly took the lead with Nicholson scoring from 25 yards courtesy of a well paced free…
