In contrast to last year’s washout, conditions were dry and sunny for this year’s Derwentwater 10 road race which took place in the Lake District on Sunday. The race attracted a record entry of 580 runners, 15 of them from Beverley AC. The challenging 10-mile course starts in Keswick town centre and follows the narrow and winding road around Derwentwater. With long inclines and steep hills runners need a lot…
After a week’s break Beverley RUFC return to league action this Saturday with a visit to Birkenhead Park, for their National League 3 (North) encounter. Birkenhead Park are in a similar position in the league table to the Beavers with a similar playing record so a close encounter is on the cards. Birkenhead is always a difficult place to visit and record a win, but has historically been a happy…
The owners of Groundtech Landscaping, Darren and Vicky Hart, have recently acquired the health club “Riverview Health & Fitness”. Since taking over Riverview on the 1st March 2010 they have met several members of Beverley Town Football Club, including the chairman Stuart Acaster. The football club currently trains at Riverview. Darren and Vicky thought it was appropriate that Riverview sponsored the club as a local business supporting a local team….
The inaugural Deepdale Dash 10k road race took place at Barton-upon-Humber on Sunday and attracted a field of over 200 runners. The scenic undulating route provided some challenging hills but runners enjoyed the opportunity to compete on a new course. Beverley’s Jonathan Leskiewicz continued his good form and finished third in 34.43, only a few seconds short of his personal best at this distance. Steve Evins, still in his first…
Beverley Town Cricket Club held their end of season awards dinner at the Beverley Arms Hotel.

In a well contested game Cottingham came out on top at the Molescroft Pavillion. Cottingham scored first only for Molescroft FC to equalise through a superb free kick from Matthew Saint that was flicked on by Lewis Scott for Rees Anthony to stab home. In the second half Molescroft took the lead through Ellis Horsfield following a good team move. Cottingham however came back back strongly to clinch the game…
For the Tesco knockout cup, Mohicans travelled to Preston and had a tough encounter against a side from a lower division. Some great defending by Greg Whyley and Louie Kelly stopped early attacks and then Jamie Spence made a strong run into the Preston box, he was brought down and Callum Ward stepped up to take the penalty. He struck it well but the keeper pulled off a fantastic save….
On Sunday Beverley faced Gilberdyke looking to right some wrongs from their previous meeting. With the likes of Ellie Richardson missing after breaking her leg last week and the impressive Lauren Hirst also missing the game was never going to be easy. In the first half Beverley unusually took a while to get going and in an even but slow half a tough tackling Gilberdyke side found themselves fortunate to…
In some slippery conditions at Longcroft, the Braves were up to take on the East Hull visitors. Kurt Pelham took a fine catch to start the game with conviction. East Hull ran strongly and put pressure on the home side’s line. Despite some bruising tackles East Hull broke free and went over for an early lead. Play resumed with the same conviction and Joe Wardill took a sky high kick…
Town made it five in a row on a sunny afternoon at Norwood. However the gloss was taken off this win with the sad injury to midfielder Jay Custus who suffered a broken leg mid-way through the second half. Once again manager Dave Walton had to make changes to his team, bringing Sam Overton and Craig Lamplugh back into the side, moving Winston Winn to right back and Jonny Kershaw…
Hodgsons FC made it a perfect 10 wins from 10 league games with a win against a rather poor Long Riston side. The last time these two sides met was only last season in the cup when Hodgsons beat Long Riston 8 – 1. After this match Riston will hope they don’t face Hodgsons for a long time after conceding 16 goals in just two meetings. Hodgsons currently top the…
The curse of the Manager Month award struck again as Manager Healey saw his side lose out to the odd goal in thirteen after only hours earlier collecting the plaudits after his team completed a magic October with five wins out of five. With keeper Bryce away at a Bar Mitzvah, Moley relied on youth in goal and this seemed to unsettle the defence who endured an error strewn afternoon…
Beverley 2nds continued their great form with a comfortable win over Hull Medics. Beverley struggled to get up to full speed in the first 40 minutes, but it all went right with a superb second half display. With good movement and quick passing they took Hull Medics apart and notched up another big score, winning 71 – 5. This was another top team performance from Beverley. Credit must also go…
The Bandits started brightly in the first 15 minutes and were looking comfortable, but as the game went on Scarborough grew in confidence and early in the second half drew level at 12-12. This game could have gone either way, but in the end it came down to who wanted it most and it was the Bandits who claimed the points 17-15 in a very even game. Pictures by Paul…
The Beverley Whitestar Falcons (wearing orange bibs) came out as 1 – 0 winners over the Beverley Whitestar Hawks. A second-half goal from Yasmine Shepherd was enough to win and maintain the Falcons’ 100 percent start to the Girls’ U12 Division 2 League. The players all know each well as both teams train together. Falcons’ manager Anthony Green was delighted with the result and was quick to praise the Hawks,…

In what was a most bizarre match, Hodgsons made it 9 wins from 9 after putting 8 goals past Brandesburton, but worryingly conceded 4 goals at the other end. There was never any doubt that the Tanners would pick up all 3 points on their travels, as just after the half hour mark they were leading 4-1. Jordan Dexter opened the scoring with a looping header on 20 minutes. Then…
