Inter Beat FC Fruit in Friendly
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 U9’s Go Top of the League
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 Hit Hedon For Six
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 Batter St Andrews 5 – 1 in Myton League
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…
Whitestar Ladies Kayleigh Oliver Scores 5 Minute Hat Trick
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…
Blue & Golds Drop Points at Rangers
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…
Beavers Fightback Though Lose at Darlington
So near and yet so far. For the second week running Beverley were down and out and then came back superbly to get to within a single score of victory. In the end they probably lost this one because they gave away too many soft scores in the middle period, principally through poor tackling and wayward kicking out of defence. Once again they completely dominated the first quarter of an…

Rangers Earn a Draw as Scott Sees Red
Hodgsons FC second team threw away a lead to draw with local rival Molescroft Rangers at the Beverley Leisure Centre. Hodgsons took the lead though a Ranger’s goal kick that left the Hodgsons keeper in no mans land, as he came and missed a header the ball fell kindly to Rangers striker Darren Spruce who scored into the open goal. To add to a miserable day at the office for…
