Molescroft progressed to the second round despite missing several regulars including Goalkeeper Paul Bryce who was away in America on business and stalwart left Rich Dixon who was away filming his first adult movie.

The Beavers entertained Reckitts Reserves for the second time in three weeks looking to emulate their win a fortnight earlier. Things looked promising for Beverley as they created a number of chances with Stockman causing problems up front. Unfortunately Beverley were left rueing their chances as Reckitts scored in the last minute of the first half. The second half saw Reckitts improve and Beverleys goal opportunities were resticted to half…
You couldn’t ask for better than this. Two teams going flat out with non-stop attacking rugby gave us a great match. Seven tries and most of them pretty good ones. Beverley have been threatening all season to click into shape and today it all came together with a fine performance that brought them a well deserved victory. With only one previous defeat and the best defensive record in the league…

With one of the strongest sides Beverley 2nds have managed to field for quite some time, the outcome of their match against an obviously young and inexperienced Goole team, looked pretty obvious. The game had only just started before Beverley had their 1st score on the board. Some excellent forward pressure and the ball was turned over far too easily and a simple try was scored. Beverley were clearly showing…
Saturday sees Beverley RUFC entertaining Sandal in what is sure to be yet another tough encounter. Having, for the third week in succession, allowed their opponents to build up an apparently unassailable lead with only 15 or 20 minutes to go last weekend at Darlington Mowden Park, the Beavers suddenly started to play as we know they can and, given another 5 minutes would probably have won all three games….

The Inter Beaver sneaked past FC Fruit this Sunday with a 2 – 1 victory. Inter took the lead thanks a dubious penalty, awarded for what looked like a foul outside the box, Mike Dixon stepped up and coolly converted the kick. FC Fruit levelled things in early in the second half, though Inter got a second to clinch the match courtesy of Chris Williamson 15 minutes before time. The…
Beverley Town Under-9s beat Hessle Sporting Typhoons Under-9s 1-0 and 3-2. Two closely fought matches resulted in hard-earned victories on each occasion for Beverley Town. The contest was played in great spirit both on and off the pitch, and credit must go to Hessle for their teamwork and ability, as well as for coming back from two-nil down to level the second match. Nevertheless, Beverley eventually managed to maintain a…
Molescroft FC brushed Hedon aside at Longcroft School. Although leading at half time, Molescroft had looked shaky at the back in the first half, chasing shadows. Hedon played some great football, though they were unable to make anything of their chances. A half-time talk from Manager Dave Burr and Coach Glynn Lockyer gave the Molescroft players a much needed boost. Playing much better in the second half, Molescroft scored a…
Mohicans started how they finished their previous match, in a very positive manner and it took a couple of good saves and shots just off target for the score to be 0-0 going into the 8th minute. Jamie Spence then sent a long dead ball to Callum Ward who raced down the wing before cutting along the by-line and scoring from an acute angle. More shots just wide from Sam…
After last weeks convincing wins by both teams a tough game was expected with confidences being high. With the wind firmly behind the hosts they started very well in what turned out to be a very tight first half. Beverley went forward whenever possible and looked to play their trademark football and did very well in the testing conditions. Whitestar started to create clear cut chances and should of found…
The blue and golds will consider this one a point lost rather than a point gained from this trip to Hull University. They attempted to play adventurously in blustery conditions which resulted in some spectacular tries but at times they made one pass too many when a more direct style of play was required. On a day when many players were having an off day the man of the match…
