Fully Fit Beavers Confident Ahead Of Match With Morley

December 14, 2011

Beverley RUFC entertain fellow struggler’s Morley at Beaver Park on Saturday, kick-off 2.15 p.m, in what is a crucial National League 3 fixture. Having produced an outstanding performance to dispose of table topping Rossendale two weeks ago, they sadly reverted to type to lose to Penrith last weekend, and plunged themselves deeper into trouble. At the halfway point of the season, the Beavers need to buckle down and reproduce the flashes of…

Carelessness Costs Beverley In Penrith

December 11, 2011

A hugely disappointing day for Beverley RUFC. Both these sides badly needed to produce a top class performance to secure a win and ease their relegation worries. The message had clearly got through to Penrith but Beverley RUFC, sadly, seemed quite oblivious to it. They were frankly unrecognisable from the side that played so well the previous week against Rossendale and were deservedly beaten by a team playing with far…

Rob Smith Try Gives Beverley Vital Win Over Rossendale

December 4, 2011

What a difference a win makes. After a luckless few weeks with numerous injuries and withdrawals Beverley RUFC got themselves off the bottom of the table with a close but well deserved victory against second placed Rossendale at Beaver Park. The game never produced much quality rugby – not surprising given the strength of the raw wind that blew end to end all afternoon – but Beverley RUFC will not…

Beavers Welcome Back Three Key Players For Trip To Sandal

November 17, 2011

Following a much improved display last Saturday against West Hartlepool where, despite losing by 13 points to 9, Beverley were by far the better team on the day and lost the game largely due to three vital and very dubious decisions going against them, the Beavers head to Sandal reinforced with more confidence than for a long while. Richard Bussey, Francis Pickering and Craig Hancock all came through their return…

James McKay Confident Beavers Can Turn It Around

November 2, 2011

Mowden Park last Saturday, Beverley RUFC face another daunting away trip to Liverpool to take on Waterloo at Blundellsands. Having suffered another heavy defeat at the hands of new league leaders Darlington Although they are rooted at the bottom of the league table at present, the Beavers are not too far adrift and there is some light at the end of the tunnel regarding the return of their key players…

A Satisfactory Season for Beverley RUFC

June 24, 2010

At its recently held Annual General Meeting, Beverley RUFC Chairman Malcolm Cunningham reported on a very satisfactory season on the field for the club. The first XV, playing some very good rugby finished the season in a highly creditable 7th place in the league table, despite a quite horrendous run of injuries. Several key players spent a fair amount of time on the sidelines with fractured limbs and the bad…

Interview: Craig Hancock

June 22, 2010

It’s been a hellish month for stricken Beverley rugby star Craig Hancock – but the local lad is still smiling and full of optimism. Craig, 25, of Chestnut Drive, Beverley, suffered an horrific broken leg in the dying seconds of Beverley ARLFC’s Ray Speckman Cup Final victory over Cottingham Tigers last month.

Cottingham Tigers Vs Beverley ARLC

May 24, 2010

Beverley ARLFC’s powerhouse pack laid the foundations for their superb come-from-behind 28-18 Ray Speckman Cup final victory over rivals Cottingham Tigers at Haworth Park on Saturday. In the build-up to the game, blue and golds’ coach Rich Shaw and captain Steve Davidson had talked about the need to muscle up in defence against a pacy Tigers’ side, certain that if they could contain their opponents’ powerful centres their big, bruising…

Beverley ARLC Lift Ray Speckman Cup

May 23, 2010

Beverley ARLFC produced a thrilling second-half fightback to win the Ray Speckman Memorial Cup at Haworth Park on Saturday. Trailing 18-6 at the break in energy-sapping heat, Beverley’s powerful pack gradually ground down Cottingham Tigers’ defence to earn a thoroughly-deserved 28-18 victory in front of a vocal travelling crowd. Second-half tries from Craig Hamlet, Matt Bielby and a superb brace from hooker Gavin Proctor, added to Liam Lane’s first-half try,…

Beverley RUFC Vs West Hartlepool

March 29, 2010

Beverley RUFC rounded off their club’s fiftieth anniversary celebrations with a fine win in the spring sunshine at Beaver Park. It was hard and physical but always an enjoyable game to watch. From the early stages a victory for Beverley RUFC always looked probable but for half an hour they made heavy weather of it and at the interval all they had to show for their domination was a single…

Beverley RUFC Welcome Hartlepool to Beaver Park

March 26, 2010

Beverley RUFC face West Hartlepool in what is their first home game since 6 February and will be hoping to return to winning ways. West have been plagued by relegation worries all season and have languished in the bottom three for most of the season. The Beavers won the fixture in Hartlepool by 39 points to 5 back in early December and will be keen to repeat that performance on…

Beverley Head West to Face Stockport

March 19, 2010

Once again Beverley RUFC head over the Pennines to take on table topping Stockport. Once again the Beavers will be looking to halt their recent slide and, on the face of it, they face a tremendous task. However, they will take heart from their performance last week at Rossendale when, were it not for some extremely over zealous use of yellow cards by a very poor referee, they would almost…
