Beverley RUFC’s second team remained unbeaten in the league with after 37-8 win against Scarborough at Beaver Park. The whole team played very well but the backs, in particular, gelled together this week to produce an outstanding performance
Beverley RUFC 2nds were crowned East Yorkshire Division One Champions on Sunday in a thrilling final against Malton, running out eventual winner 31-25. On a fine afternoon for rugby at Driffields Kelleythorpe ground, the crowd were treated to a cracking game which was credit to both sides. With so much riding on the game you could have forgiven either side if they’d played safe and low risk rugby, but neither…
Beverley RUFC 2nd XV claimed the Merit League title coming from behind to beat Malton and Norton in a pulsating final. Beverley RUFC who at one point were 16 – 3 battled hard and found themselves take a 28 – 20 lead. Malton then added a try closing the gap to just three points. The beavers however secured the title with penalty that was kicked by Jamie Gill to ensure…
After finishing top of their merit league Beverley 2nds entertained 4th place Scarborough Vikings in their play off semi final a week after narrowly beating the same opposition 19-12 in their final league match. An almost full strength Beavers, only missing injured captain Rob Vaux and the unwell Jamie Gill, could not have wished for a better start as from their first foray into the visitors half fly half Ben…
Beverley RUFC were well beaten in this Yorkshire Cup quarter final game and Hull RUFC now go on to meet Cleckheaton in the semi-final. Neither club sent out its strongest side and Beverley RUFC with their minds concentrated on their league relegation battle fielded a side almost entirely made up of second team juniors. On the whole the young players acquitted themselves well but they were really no match for…
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…
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.

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. They might have wished they had had another week off. They certainly looked the rustier of the two sides here and could hardly complain at a thirteen points defeat. With their half backs away in Australia for the rest of the season and several other…
Beverley RUFC returned to action after a long layoff but were beaten by visitors Darlington Mowden Park. Beverley, not for the first time this season, gifted their opponents an early lead in a game that Mowden Park won 30-17. The Beavers did score two tries, James McKay and Manu Kirkwood both crossing the line. Both the tries were converted by Phil Dale, and Jamie Gill added a late penalty goal….
Beverley 2nd team’s six match winning streak came to an end by the narrowest of margins on Saturday as they lost 14-13 to Driffield 2nd team in an enthralling game of rugby. Having arrived expecting to take on Merit League rivals Driffield 3rds, Beverley were informed they were now due to take on their host’s 2nd team in a friendly match, Driffield 3rds having agreed to forfeit the Merit Table…
This Saturday’s visitors to Beaver Park are Rossendale RFC who travel from Lancashire to take on Beverley in the National League 3(North) fixture. Lying just one place below the Beavers in the league table, Rossendale are a big, physical side and Beverley need a win to take them away from the foot of the table. Coach James McKay said earlier this week, “Each of our four defeats this season have…
Beverley 2nd’s came into this game full of confidence after last week’s win over Goole , they got off to the perfect start with two early tries. The Hullensian Hawks were not going to give up just yet, and hit back with two tries of their own and then had the nerve to take the lead 17-14. But with minutes to spare Beverley restored their lead to make the half…
Over zealous brandishing of yellow cards spoilt what would have been a cracking game at Rossendale. Ironically it was a match played throughout in a good spirit with both sides intent on fast open rugby. Almost certainly it would have been a tight contest between two sides which before the rash of the yellow carding looked to be evenly matched and both up for the win. Beverley RUFC took the…
This was another disappointing day for Beverley RUFC who were well beaten for the second week running by a side battling to avoid relegation. After a fine run in mid season they look for the moment to have rather lost their way; in fact an unknowing spectator today would scarcely have guessed that of the two sides it was Rochdale who were the relegation threatened side. They went into this…
Beverley RUFC 2nds travelled to Bridlington hoping to avenge a heavy defeat the last time the two sides met. Despite the late loss of influential back rower Martin Shaw to an early morning groin injury and another couple of no shows from the selected squad the Beavers had a much stronger team than their previous visit to Dukes Park in November and made strong start after a somewhat lacklustre warm…

Full Match Report – Beverley 14 Middlesbrough 13 Not a match that will linger long in anybody’s memory but in the end a satisfactory day for Beverley who ground out a narrow victory to move up to…
Looking anything but a side that had not played for six weeks Beverley RUFC cruised to a comfortable victory over a disappointing Sheffield Tigers to maintain their position in the upper half of League Three North. Sheffield were a pale shadow of the side that had played so impressively earlier in the season at Beaver Park and for much of the game Beverley RUFC needed merely to sit back and…
