January 18, 2011

Beverley Racecourse general manager Sally Iggulden hopes the course’s star race will still attract the best of the North’s sprinters despite it losing its Listed status. The Hillary Needler Trophy, held every May, is the racing high-point on the Westwood but because of a fall in standard of entrants for the fillies-only two-year-old sprint, the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) have removed the coveted Listed status of the race.

Driffield U17s Beat Beverley at Beaver Park

January 18, 2011

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…

Poor Second Half Costs United

January 17, 2011

Intelligent Performance by Harding Helps Beavers to Victory

January 16, 2011

What a difference a week makes.  After their previous week’s fairly dismal return to action Beverley RUFC produced here some of their best rugby of the season. Although they slightly ran out of steam in the second half in the heavy going and playing up the slope their effort throughout was superb.  Neither backs nor forwards could be faulted as they moved the ball about fluently and with plenty of…
