A carefree romp with eighty six points brought the curtain down on another season at Beaver Park. Neither side had anything at stake here and both threw the ball about with abandon.
They do not come more exciting than this. This was some match, with an unbearable last five minutes for both sets of supporters. Huddersfield are going full belt for promotion and against a side
Cold, wet, windy, a long suspension of play for a serious injury, and a stand full of home supporters who seldom paused in their relentless whingeing at the referee.
A humdinger of a match. An encounter with high flying Sale when nearly a dozen of your first team squad are unavailable would not be many clubs’ first choice for a fixture.
Wind, mud, and a day to forget for Beverley. Given the conditions there was never likely to be much finesse on view but Waterloo played by far the better rugby and fully deserved to win.
Plenty of endeavour and spirit but it all got rather bogged down in the wet and heavy going. Both these high scoring sides are in fine form at the moment and on a dry day this would probably have been a cracker.
Another afternoon of thrilling rugby and another good win for Beverley. Beverley at the moment are in a rich vein of form, averaging over 35 points a game in their latest ten matches.

The Christmas break in fixtures gives Beverley RUFC the opportunity to reflect on the season so far.
Injury hit Beverley are preparing for their longest away fixture on Saturday against Penrith in Cumbria.
Once again so near and yet so far for Beverley RUFC. They led here for threequarters of the match and with three minutes to go had the game won.
A useful two league points for Beverley RUFC but it could have been better. They had by far the greater share of the game and played the slicker rugby.
Back with a vengeance. After two disappointing defeats Beverley got their act together and played some thrilling rugby here to romp home with eleven tries, seven of them converted.
A day to forget. Beverley were given a comprehensive going over here by a Billingham side playing with far greater verve and efficiency. It was comfortably Beverley’s poorest display of the season.
At halftime this match looked as good as all over. By the end it had become a hard-fought rousing contest. Despite wet conditions underfoot and a near gale both sides played with bags of adventure producing an afternoon of nine tries and plenty of excitement.
This was more like it. After several disappointing performances in which they have not done themselves justice Beverley had a comfortable win here and looked to be back at their best.
Beverley RUFC cannot afford much more like this. They have enough quality to be a top six side yet they have now lost five matches, at least four of them games they should have won.
Better. Much better. After a disappointing defeat in their opening game Beverley RUFC gave notice that they are back in town in front of their own fans at Beaver Park.
