Beverley continued to play with great authority, next coming close when Matty James drifted a shot just past…
The blue and golds were in action for the first time in six weeks last Saturday when they travelled to Keyingham on a bright but bitterly cold afternoon.

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.

With their half backs away in Australia for the rest of the season and several other…
The Eager Beaver crashed out of the quarter final of the Sponsors Cup losing 2–1 to Ryder FC.

A ring rusty Molescroft completed a league double over FC Ridings despite making hard work of the game in the second half after racing into a 4-0 lead in the first 45 minutes.

The blue and golds will hopefully get their first taste of action this Saturday since their victory over Fenners way back on November 20th as they travel to Keyingham to play their country rivals Holderness Vikings. Lack of match fitness will be the main worry for coach Rich Shaw but is a problem for all teams during the inclement weather that has decimated local sport over the past six weeks….
