Beverley RUFC Vs Darlington Mowden Park: Report & Pictures

January 10, 2011

At last some rugby.  After five weeks of snow and frozen grounds Beverley RUFC finally got back into action, albeit on a heavy-going second-team pitch.  They might have wished they had had another week off.  They certainly looked the rustier of the two sides here and could hardly complain at a thirteen points defeat.  With their half backs away in Australia for the rest of the season and several other…

Visit of Middlesbrough to Beaver Park in Doubt

December 2, 2010

Beverley Back to Winning Ways at Beaver Park

Beverley Well Beaten by Birkenhead

A moment of carelessness twenty minutes from time put an end to any chance Beverley might have had of getting something out of this game. Birkenhead held a narrow lead at 10-7 and at that stage it was still anybody’s match. Beverley made a mess of a lineout and this led to a converted Birkenhead try. It proved to be the defining moment of the match. After that it was…

Beverley Get Much Needed Win Against Rochdale

After a string of narrow defeats which left them sitting alarmingly low in the league Beverley RUFC badly needed this victory. Rochdale hardly looked like a side still without a win this season and contributed hugely to an entertaining game.  For most of the time the fast flowing rugby played by both sides matched the fine autumn sunshine.  Well, it did for the first half at any rate.  In the…

Winless Rochdale Next Up For Beverley RUFC

October 28, 2010

Bottom of the table Rochdale are the visitors to Beaver Park on Saturday for the National League 3(North) match between the two struggling sides. Although they are now third from the bottom of the table, Beverley are a far better team than their league position suggests, but they cannot continue to rely on that theoretical analysis.
