Plenty of good rugby but overall a strange game. For Beverley RUFC it was a curate’s egg performance – good and bad in about equal measure. For twenty five minutes they played some cracking stuff, were leading 17-5, and looked as though they would romp away with it. Then unaccountably it all went wrong and after that, apart from the last ten minutes, all the good rugby came from Darlington…

Hodgsons biggest win of the season came at the expense of AFC Goods Office of Goole. In the previous encounter Goods Office came out top 4-2, so Hodgsons knew this was going to be a very tough match. The scoreline would suggest the very opposite. The tanners went a goal down after just 2 minutes. Slack defending at the back saw a Goods player sneak in behind the Hodgsons back…

The opening game saw Champions elect Waterside take on Real Soldierdad, who had the opportunity to help out their mates Trogs. Waterside took and early league after Danny Moore smashed home a sweet freekick and looked to have sealed the title then Dan tucked in a second before half time. However Soldierdad are never a team to give in and made a spirited fightback in their final appearance at Soccer…
A poor display saw the Tanners deservedly beaten by local rivals Beverley Town Reserves. Quiet worryingly the only highlight for Hodgsons FC was Jolly Thorne’s nutmeg on Town’s Richard Durham! Once again Hodgsons FC reshuffled the deck with Adam Foster missing again, and with no recognized central midfielder, Scott-Jon Tyler was asked to play in the middle of the park. There was still enough quality on the park to produce…
This weekend’s visitors to Beaver Park for Beverley RUFC’s scheduled National League 3 fixture are Darlington Mowden Park. In the corresponding fixture at Darlington last October, the Beavers lost 21-36, but felt that the 15 point margin did not reflect the game. Only a 10 minute first half blast whilst Beverley regrouped after the loss of Goran Jelencic, allowed Darlington to score 14 points without reply. Beverley will be out…
Runners from Beverley Athletic Club made their annual trip to the Lake District at the weekend to take part in the Coniston 14+ race.

A bridge on the race route is still closed due to serious damage caused by extensive flooding in November and organisers decided to lengthen the course rather than cancel the…
The East Hull 20 road race attracted a field of almost 400 runners last Sunday, most of them using the event to prepare for the London Marathon next month. The flat 20-mile course is exposed in places and there was no shelter from the strong headwind which plagued runners for the second half of the race. The windy conditions sapped the stamina of the athletes and resulted in slower times….
Mill Lane United secured bragging rights over Hodgsons FC by knocking their local rivals out of the cup.
