Manager Dave Walton once again had to shuffle his pack for this game with five first team regulars missing through injury.

Huge kicks from the Brid keeper were causing problems for the Town defence, with Jay Custus and Rich Jagger struggling…

After a string of narrow defeats which left them sitting alarmingly low in the league Beverley badly needed this victory. For most of the time the fast flowing rugby played by both sides matched the fine autumn sunshine. Well, it did for the first half at any rate. In the second half Beverley rather lost their way. They got off to a sensational start. After only three minutes Junior Tupai…

It was an early start for the Braves this Halloween morning and both sides look nervous for the first few minutes of play. Zak Mayo took the ball cleanly from the off but the game was scrappy for a while and Normanton capitalised on a couple of offside’s from Beverley which gave them valuable yards up the field. This pressure was felt even more when James McGahey was taken off…

Reports during the week on the teletext transfer rumours page regarding…

However the introduction of Guy Adams off the bench perked the Blue and Golds up and one powerful surge from him set up the position for Steve Davidson to twist and turn his…
The Humber Colts left it late at Longcroft to overcome bottom of the table Inter Beaver. In a heated game, things could have been so different. Inter broke and scored only to see the goal disallowed for off-side. Had the goal stood, it would have put Inter in the lead for the first time in the game. With the scores still level at 2 – 2 and with less then…
