Bottom of the table Rochdale are the visitors to Beaver Park on Saturday for the National League 3(North) match between the two struggling sides. Although they are now third from the bottom of the table, Beverley are a far better team than their league position suggests, but they cannot continue to rely on that theoretical analysis. They must start to put together a winning run to back up the theory…
The Humber Colts remain top of the league table after a 4 – 0 home win against Courtland. The match was brought forward because both sides had a free week. It was not all good news for the Colts; new signing Steve Grantham was carried off after he pulled a hamstring.

Braves were on top form straight from the whistle with tough strong tackles going in hard and fast. After just a few minutes Dylan Clifford broke free and charged through the Warriors defence as strong as an ox, to crash over the line for his first try of the day. Owen Harrison executed an outstanding kick to make it 6 points in as many minutes. The Braves did not stop…
After two good wins Town went into this game looking to keep the momentum going in the league. However for the second week running they started slowly and were behind after 10 minutes. Town failed to deal with a set piece from a wide right position and the Ferriby forward out jumped Jon Ricardo to head into the top corner. This spurred Beverley into action and kick started the Michael…

The previous week unstoppable, this week not so good. But once again the ‘tanners’ managed to pick up maximum points against a very stubborn East Riding Rangers team.

The home side looked sharp and worked hard from the beginning to the end of the match. In the early…
Molescroft Rangers consolidated their place in the top half of the table with a professional display against a big Withernsea side, winning 3-0 in atrocious conditions.

The blue and golds exited the cup this saturday on their travels to Cottingham. The match was a dour stop start affair not helped by the over zealous interpretation of the rules by the match official which resulted in a continuous stream of penalties awarded against both sides. The home side crossed for two early tries to race to a 12-0 lead. Rob Thompson started the fight back for the…
