The Beverley Bandits put on a fine show in conditions that were more suited to mud wrestling then rugby.

Beverley paid the price for one dreadful lapse in defence to go down to a narrow defeat at league leaders Stockport. The wet conditions meant the game was fairly error-strewn and often scrappy, but it was exciting and enjoyable for all that. It was played throughout in a good spirit for which great credit is due to the refereeing of Simon Lazenby who kept it flowing with the minimum of…

Once again Beverley RUFC head over the Pennines to take on table topping Stockport. Once again the Beavers will be looking to halt their recent slide and, on the face of it, they face a tremendous task. However, they will take heart from their performance last week at Rossendale when, were it not for some extremely over zealous use of yellow cards by a very poor referee, they would almost…
Trogs v AJ’s was a competitive affair with neither team giving an inch to the opposition. Both teams managed to bag a single goal, but the controversy in the match came on the 6 minutes mark, when referee Patrick Browich first awarded, then took away a goal for the Trogs. In fairness to the referee it was a really difficult one to judge. The Trogs striker smashed the ball against…

Last week Beverley were 17 nil behind…
Over zealous brandishing of yellow cards spoilt what would have been a cracking game at Rossendale. Ironically it was a match played throughout in a good spirit with both sides intent on fast open rugby. Almost certainly it would have been a tight contest between two sides which before the rash of the yellow carding looked to be evenly matched and both up for the win. Beverley RUFC took the…
