Fine Away Win Eases Beavers Relegation Fears

April 18, 2011

Another excellent victory over fellow strugglers took Beverley RUFC to relative safety from relegation. But not quite. One more win from their last two games would be enough to ensure survival although this will not be necessary if Waterloo are defeated at Middlesbrough next week. Otherwise even now it could still be a very tight finish. With so much at stake this was always going to be a dog-eats-dog encounter. …

Beavers 2nd XV Cruise Through to Play Off Final

April 16, 2011

Beverley RUFC 2nd XV eased past the Scarborough Vikings at Beaver Park beating the visitors 53 – 7.

Archibald said: “I am delighted with the result though the job is only half done, no one remembers the runner up…

Atiola & Morris Return for the Battle With Waterloo

April 14, 2011

Welcome as this performance and result was, a look at the relative statistics for Waterloo and Middlesbrough suggests that…

Beverley Show They Can Mix It With The Best

April 12, 2011

Excellent Beavers Win Easily at Middlesbrough

April 10, 2011

An excellent day for Beverley RUFC. Not only did they soundly defeat one of their fellow relegation strugglers but they picked up a four try bonus point and did it all in some style. Middlesbrough are a tough side to beat at Acklam Park and with three wins and a draw in their last four matches they probably fancied their chances here. But Beverley RUFC imposed themselves from the outset…

Champions Beat Beavers with Last Gasp Try

April 3, 2011

So near and yet so far. This was a heartbreaking result for Beverley RUFC who had played superbly throughout and were just five minutes away from inflicting only a second defeat of the season on the League Champions. It was a pulsating match from start to finish. Neither side ever got more than one score ahead and the afternoon was full of thrilling rugby in the spring sunshine. This was…

Grammar School Beat Longcroft in Schools Rugby

March 31, 2011

Beverley Grammar School beat Longcroft School in the annual rugby competition and, judging by the reaction of the players, it meant a lot to them.

Longcroft did win one of their matches, the Year 10 lads beating Beverley Grammar Year 10 51-6. Beverley Grammar are 3 –…

Linda Fowler’s 40th @ Beverley Rugby Club

March 29, 2011

Friends and family came together to make it a special night recently for Beverley woman Linda Fowler. Linda was the star of the show as she celebrated her 40th birthday in style at Beverley RUFC.

The popular Beaver Park, Norwood, clubhouse provided the perfect setting for the night, and…

Beavers See Off Goole With Two Converted Tries

March 28, 2011

Beverley RUFC juniors showed their class scoring two converted tries to defeat Goole at Beaver Park this Sunday. Ollie Bennett opened the scoring for the Beavers with Hazel adding a second try.

Revenge is Sweet as Beverley Seconds Hammer Ionians

March 28, 2011

Revenge was indeed sweet for Beverley RUFC seconds on Saturday. They showed power and precision to hammer East Yorkshire rivals Hull Ionians 38-7 at Beaver Park, with Phil Cromie leading the way. He bagged a superb hat-trick to lay the platform for success, which was built upon by fellow try-scorers Dave Brant and Ben Sherwood, while Jamie Gill was on target with the boot. Captain Ian Archibald was delighted with…

Beavers Claim Victory in Bottom of the Table Clash

March 27, 2011

A gripping match and a real cliff-hanger. Beverley RUFC got there in the end but it was a mighty close thing. Six times the lead changed hands as both sides went flat out for victory to ease their relegation fears. Only three points now separate five clubs two of whom will join Rochdale in the drop. For Beverley RUFC this win will have done them a power of good after…

Injury Hit Beavers Boosted by Return of Pickering

March 24, 2011

Saturday brings another crucial game to Beaver Park with fellow relegation strugglers Billingham RFC the visitors. Beverley RUFC will be keen to shake off the lethargy shown in the last couple of weeks and return to the form that we know they are capable of. In truth they are not being helped by the appalling run of injuries that they are suffering and the Physio room on Tuesday night showed…

Beavers Defeat Leaves Them in Relegation Mix

March 21, 2011

Another disappointing day for Beverley RUFC. With the clubs below them rapidly closing the gap both these sides needed a win to breathe a bit easier, Beverley RUFC especially. Sadly Beverley RUFC carried on where they left off last week and were again soundly beaten. The result is that they are now firmly in the relegation mix. Particularly worrying is that at the moment they look rudderless and a pale…

Beavers Suffer Heavy Defeat at Penrith

March 13, 2011

This was a day best forgotten. Beverley RUFC were totally outplayed from start to finish and produced as abject a performance as they have given for a long time. It is difficult to comprehend how a side capable of playing such thrilling rugby as we have often seen this season can lapse into the sort of mediocrity we saw here. Yet in the end it was probably not the defeat…

Beavers First Captain Jim Thirsk to be Remembered

March 10, 2011

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…

Pickering & Dale Missing For Beavers Trip to Penrith

March 10, 2011

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…

Beavers Unable to Match Power of Barnsley

March 8, 2011

Beverley RUFC U17s were beaten by Barnsley in the Yorkshire Cup.

Poor Show From Beavers as Birkenhead Win

March 6, 2011

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…
