Beavers End 2011 On A High With A Fine Win At Beaver Park

December 18, 2011

If last week’s dismal showing at Penrith did nothing else it certainly served as a wake-up call for Beverley RUFC. They came back in fine style today to overcome fellow strugglers Morley in an enjoyable and lively encounter at Beaver Park. Both sides desperately needed a win here, Beverley even more than Morley. For over half the match the result hung in the balance with Beverley holding a slender 8-3…

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…

Things Can Only Get Better As Beavers Are Thumped At Sandal

November 21, 2011

This report will not be up to the usual standard that readers have come to expect, since our regular reporter arrived at Sandal just before half time after exchanging heated words with his Satnav and just about every motor vehicle between Bingley and Sandal! Clearly he was in no mood to take over my scrap of paper and pencil to continue my efforts. Reading the scoreline it is, perhaps, just…

Beavers Fall Short As Worrall Sees Red

November 14, 2011

A rip-roaring game full of non stop rugby from both sides.  Quite how Beverley RUFC ended up losing it after almost totally dominating it was a mystery.  Even more baffling was how they failed to score a single try despite creating clear cut chances all afternoon. The midfield trio of Phil Duboulay, Junior Tupai and Sam Atiola were simply outstanding and this was probably the best the pack has played…

John Nursey:Beavers Need More Fire and Aggression

November 6, 2011

Another defeat for Beverley RUFC but this was a much improved performance and with the injured players beginning to return there is at last some light at the end of the tunnel.  With results elsewhere again going in their favour they still have every chance to make a swift climb up the table.  The return here of Sam Atiola to partner Junior Tupai in the centre has clearly restored to…

Beverley Well Beaten Away At Darlington

October 31, 2011

Against a side with seven wins out of eight this was always going to be a tough game for Beverley RUFC.  They stuck at it well in the first half and at the interval trailed only 16-3 but in the second half they were totally outplayed and finally went down to a heavy defeat.  After the great spirit shown in recent games when playing against the odds with a makeshift…

Beavers Set To Face Stiff Test Against Darlington Mowden Park

October 27, 2011

Having ended their losing streak with a sketchy win over fellow strugglers Altrincham Kersal last weekend, Beverley RUFC head north to high flying Darlington Mowden Park on Saturday. Whilst their confidence cannot be said to be fully restored yet, last week’s win and bonus point has certainly helped to ease the situation and the return of some of the injured players obviously helped. Dave Worrall, in particular, made a huge…

Archibald Comes Out Of Retirement But Beavers Go Down

October 16, 2011

Birkenhead Park are a most friendly club and their hospitality before and after the game is second to none.  But out on their own pitch they are always a tough proposition and Beverley RUFC will not have relished travelling there today with another heavily patched up side. The result was more or less inevitable and it was largely a question of how well Beverley RUFC would acquit themselves.  Once again…

Beverley Well Beaten By Bradford In National 3 North

October 10, 2011

Good in patches but much of this game was rather messy and unmemorable.  Given Beverley RUFC’s parlous injury crisis the result was probably what could have been expected.  That they restricted Bradford to only two tries and a conversion in the second half was a credit to Beverley RUFC who had turned round 41-0 down after being heavily outplayed in the first half.  In fact the second half was a…

Duboulay To Miss Beavers Clash With Bradford

October 6, 2011

Bevereley RUFC’s injury woes continue this week with the ruling out of fly-half Phil Duboulay with a knee injury,for the visit of Bradford & Bingley to Beaver Park for the National League Division 3(North) fixture. The Beavers can draw comfort from the performance of their patched up side at Chester last week which, although going down to what appears to be a heavy defeat to the league leaders, performed heroically…

Courageous Beavers Beaten By League Leaders Chester

October 2, 2011

Forget the score.  In the context of this match the final score was of little relevance. With ten senior players injured – five of them serious long term cases – Beverley RUFC fielded a wholly scratch side against the runaway league leaders who had won all their four games and scored over a hundred points in the process. For Beverley RUFC it was almost the case that anybody taking their…

Squandered Chances Cost Beverley At Beaver Park

September 26, 2011

Some exciting rugby but not a lot of quality in a game where the win might have gone either way.  In the end it was more woe for Beverley RUFC at Beaver Park. They not only lost a match they would have hoped to win but they suffered yet more injuries to senior players.  With little experienced backup to call on the situation now looks ominous, particularly with a trip…

Beavers Look To Bounce Back Against Lymm

September 21, 2011

Following their disappointing performance at Morley last Saturday where Beverley RUFC, once again fielded a patched up, depleted side and went down by 26 points to 7, they get the chance to make amends when they entertain Lymm at Beaver Park, kick off 3 p.m. Despite the fact that they hope to be in a position to field a more familiar looking side, Beverley RUFC know that they will not…

Worrall Set To Return For Beavers Trip To Morley

September 15, 2011

Beverley RUFC travel to West Yorkshire on Saturday to take on Morley in the National League 3(North) encounter in good spirits after their impressive win over Penrith last weekend. Beset by early season injuries and non availabilities, the Beavers fielded a young looking side made up of a number of players making their debuts at National 3 level. After a shaky start they settled down and although badly affected by…

Beverley Smash Penrith

September 12, 2011

What a match!  Ten tries and nearly all of them as good as any you are likely to see all season.  The game itself was no classic but the flair and attacking enterprise shown by both sides provided some great rugby. Bevelrey RUFC came back in fine style after an awful start to overcome a Penrith side which looked to have the game already wrapped up before it had hardly…

Beavers Beaten On The Plastic Pitch

September 4, 2011

A rather curious match.  Beverley RUFC opened their league season with a visit to newly promoted Burnage and for the first time had to contend with an artificial playing surface.  How much this affected their game is uncertain but in the end they were well beaten by a lively Burnage side which was clearly at home on the plastic surface. With several senior players not yet available Beverley RUFC fielded…

A Right Kick In The Duboulay’s For Hull

August 20, 2011

The 2011/2012 season opened at Beaver Park, Beverley on Friday evening with Beverley RUFC taking on Hull Ionians in the first round of the Yorkshire Cup before a good sized crowd. An entertaining match was in prospect with National Two (North) side Ionians parading their string of newly signed players against a young National Three (North) Beverley RUFC side. Initial anticipation proved to be correct for this was an absolutely…
