Blue & Golds Put Up Second Half Fight But Are Well Beaten
The Blue and Golds came up against a strong Barrow Island outfit at the Leisure Center on Saturday as they were beaten 18 – 40 by Barrow Island.

Indeed, the first 40 minutes were near flawless as they led 18-0 at the break. They then had enough tenacity and spirit to survive a second-half revival by the Merseyside outfit and claim 2 more valuable league points.
Coach Proud Of Effort And Attitude Shown Following Heavy Defeat
The build-up to this fixture in the week had been a stressful one. This was reflected in coach Sam French’s after-match comments following the Blue & Golds losing 40-8 to Heworth.
Beavers Conclude Home Fixtures With Victory Over Roundhegians
The last home game of the 21/22 season at Beaver Park was against Roundhegians RUFC, both teams equal on points in Yorkshire Division One, and the conditions were good, so there was a promise of an entertaining game of rugby, which the supporters were treated too.
An entertaining game of end-to-end rugby which saw Beverley finish victorious 31 – 21. Matchday sponsors Darren Hart from Groundtech and Iain Gillard from Big Box Group brought a good number of guests to the already excited ‘last match at home’ vibe, rounded off with a positive result meant the atmosphere at Beaver Park was buzzing.
Blue & Golds Look To Make It Back To Back Wins In York
The Blue and Golds will make the relatively short trip up to York this Saturday to face Heworth for the match at Elmpark Way.

Victory Sees Blue & Golds Earn First League Points Of The Season
The Blue and Golds got their first league points of the season in a tense war of attrition at the Leisure Centre.
The home side dominated possession and territory in the second half with the visitors rarely getting out of their own half. It was a case of Dewsbury Celtic being unable to hang on to a 12-4 lead forever when having to defend so many repeat sets.
Beverley Get Back To Winning Ways On The Road At Huddersfield
Happily, for both these sides, there is no relegation from Yorkshire One this season; otherwise, this might have been a tense relegation dogfight.
In the event it was an enjoyable and entertaining game with plenty of running rugby; carefree, almost, with nothing much at stake. Huddersfield YMCA must have one of the most pleasant playing grounds in the league and with ideal conditions and a fine sunny afternoon, there was every reason to hope for a good game.

Blue & Golds ‘Out-Muscled’ By Dewsbury In West Yorkshire
There was no shortage of effort skill and energy in this Beverley performance but it is fair to say that they were out out-muscled by a bulkier pack.
The visitors were again prepared to throw the ball around but it did often result in them turning the ball over early in the tackle count. As a result, Beverley had to defend far too many sets, especially close to their own line which was energy sapping.
Defeat For Blue and Golds A ‘Difficult One To Swallow
This defeat will be a ‘difficult one to swallow’ in the words of the coaching staff.
The Blue and Golds, leading 15-2 at the interval, having played some entertaining rugby in the process, shipped 4 tries in the early part of the second half to undo the good work.
Beverley Boosted By Return Of Veterans Calvert and Hart-Fisher
The Blue and Golds will be looking to get off the mark this Saturday when Normanton Knights are the visitors to the Beverley Leisure Centre for a 2.30pm kick-off.

Beverley’s Fine Defensive Work Pays Off As They Secure Home Win
Frequent spells of swirling rain and a fierce wind blowing diagonally from corner to corner; it might have been expected that this would be an afternoon of uninspiring rugby for supporters and those attending the ex-players reunion.
But surprisingly both sides made light of the conditions and produced an enthralling game with plenty of running rugby and end to end action.
Youthful Beverley Not Smart With The Ball in Hand As They Are Beaten
A youthful Beverley outfit took to the field in this encounter and came up short but must take some credit for their efforts.
A bulky more experienced Hunslet outfit clearly was on top in this opening fixture but a number of factors hampered the visitors.
