Beverley RUFC 2nd XV beat Malton & Norton at Beaver Park claiming top spot in the Merit League. The visitors arrived in Beverley having lost just one match all season. The Beavers wasted no time in getting stuck in and were soon in front. Such was their performance and the importance was evident with the number of people watching from the sidelines. Beverley in the end were just too good…
Two very important matches are taking place at Beaver Park this Saturday with the first team taking on Lymm who are also in the relegation mix in National League 3 (North) and the 2nds taking on Malton a & Norton in which could well be a Merit League play-off spot decider. It is vital that Beverley RUFC overcome Lymm but the Physio’s room was full on Tuesday night with players…
One of Beverley’s leading sporting lights will be remembered on a special day in the town. Jim Thirsk was the first captain of the club that would later become Beverley RUFC, and was the man chiefly responsible for acquiring the land at Beaver Park in the 1960s. He sadly died last year from Multiple System Atrophy. Now his widow Barbara and friend Fred Evans have organised a collection for Saturday…
Beverley RUFC embark upon the long trek to Cumbria on Saturday for their National League fixture against Penrith RFC. They will need to shake off the blues following last weekends comprehensive defeat by a strong Birkenhead Park side, which pushed them perilously close to the relegation zone. Having beaten the Cumbrians by 30 points to nil last November, and drawing the game at Penrith last season, the Beavers can approach…
Beverley RUFC U17s were beaten by Barnsley in the Yorkshire Cup. The visitors boasted a bigger pack and that proved to be enough despite the Beavers giving a very good accountant of themselves in a tough match.

Not at all a good day for Beverley RUFC. They were well beaten here and deservedly so by a side which showed far more determination and vigour. Yet early in the second half the game was there for the winning. From 20-0 down Beverley RUFC had clawed their way back to 20-10 and were in total command. Sadly the carelessness which bedevilled them all afternoon caused them inexplicably to lose…
After yet another postponed game last Saturday, Beverley RUFC hope to return to action this weekend with a home fixture against Birkenhead Park (kick off 3 p.m.). Lying 5th in the league table, BHP are invariably a difficult side to beat and the Beavers will need to be at their best to gain any reward on Saturday. The one benefit of the layoff is that most of the niggling injuries…
Having gained a valuable win away at bottom club Rochdale last weekend, Beverley are at home on Saturday as third from bottom Middlesbrough visit Beaver Park. This is another important game which the Beavers need to win to maintain their climb out of the danger zone. If they can re-discover the form that they were displaying prior to their Billingham nightmare, there is no reason why they should not do…
Beverley RUFC 2nd XV beat Driffield 3rd XV at Beaver Park. Beverley proved to be far too strong for Driffield as the home side won easily in the freezing conditions. Beverley’s Alex Nightingale said: “It was freezing out there, so we pleased to not only win but to hear the final whistle.” HU17.net Picture Gallery: Click on the thumbnail picture below to enlarge the image to full size [nggallery id=1244]…
The Beverley Bandits were in action against a Scunthorpe XV at Beaver Park, but lost 12-10. The first half was scoreless, and the Bandits received a talking to by their skipper about giving away too many silly penalties. After the restart Phil Cromie kicked a penalty for Beverley, but Scarborough then scored a break away try which was converted. Beverley Bandits took the lead when Andy Ellis scored a try…
A pulsating match and a thrilling finish. A Phil Dale penalty five minutes from time looked to have won it for Beverley but Bradford came back again at the very death to snatch victory with a last gasp penalty. For half the match Bradford gave Beverley RUFC the run-around with some superb back play and it looked like Beverley were in for a mauling as the visitors cruised to an…
Beverley RUFC face stiff opposition on Saturday at Beaver Park (kick-off 2.15 p.m.), when the visitors are second placed Bradford & Bingley. In the corresponding fixture at Bradford last October the Beavers gave a good account of themselves against a very powerful side reinforced by several young Leeds Carnegie Academy players. Following their long trek to Rossendale last Saturday which proved to be a waste of time since the pitch…

Beverley RUFC U16s came off the back of an excellent (but losing) performance at York last week and started off in similar vein against a big Castleford side. Almost with the first play of the game Beverley gained a penalty 10m from the Castleford line which was quickly taken to Ben Watson who crashed over for the first try. Beverley were playing into the wind and were relying on their…
What a match. This was a thrilling encounter played at a great pace with the result in doubt until the very end. It was an afternoon full of expectation, both these teams being capable of playing exhilarating rugby. And they did not disappoint. Chester are a fine well organised side going flat out for promotion and to have emerged triumphant against such a polished outfit was perhaps one of Beverley…
Beverley RUFC 2nd XV proved too strong for Driffield 3rd’s as they easily beat them at Beaver Park. Ian Archibald scored three tries in a game that got heated at times with Beverley’s Jamie Gill at one point being grabbed round the throat.

Beverley RUFC entertain Chester this Saturday at Beaver Park, kick-off 2.15 p.m., in what should be an enthralling encounter. Chester have been in the top two in the league table all season and, although they slipped up last Saturday and dropped back to third place, they will provide stern opposition for the Beavers. For their part Beverley completely revised their tactics and game plan last Saturday at Sandal and picked…
The score suggests a miserable day for Beverley U17s. But fair play to Beverley as they started the first 10/15minutes the brighter and scored the first try of the game. It didn’t take long for Driffield to get themselves back into the game, and as time moved on Driffield started to see more of the ball and put pressure on the Beverley try line. It was more of the same…
