Remember Remember To Grow A ‘Tache – It’s Movember!

November 2, 2011

During November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces in the UK and around the world. The aim of which is to raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and other cancers that affect men. Beverlonian Daniel Williams is doing it in support of his Dad who suffers from prostate cancer. “I remember my Dad telling me he…

Perfect Performance For Braves

November 1, 2011

Beverley Braves were under pressure today to not only maintain last week’s performance but also to settle a score as Wyke came confident to the match after a victory in a friendly in the summer months. The coaches knew from the first few minutes whether Beverley were up for the challenge and the answer was a resounding yes as hard tackles hit the away team from the off. They did…

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 Players Craig Hancock & Sam Atiola Take Rugby Into School

October 27, 2011

Beverley Grammar School has enjoyed a week with year 7 parents as they were invited to see, and take part in, what the boys do at the school. Parents joined all lessons from maths to P.E. and some had to admit they were shown up by the boys, one parent commented that during a maths lesson they ‘sat at the back of the class and was very embarrassed at how…

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…

Beverley Battle Hard To Win At Beaver park

October 23, 2011

Not much quality rugby here but Beverley RUFC came out of it with the win they badly needed and a bonus point to go with it. For much of the game Beverley were outplayed and could hardly get their hands on the ball. At 20-7 down early in the second half and penned in their own half they looked to be heading towards another defeat. But the game was completely…

Beverley Christmas Lights: Last Night of the Proms Concert

October 18, 2011

With just over two months to Christmas, preparations are well under way to light up Beverley and make it sparkle more than ever over the festive season. Despite difficult economic times, over eighty businesses and residents continue to support the drive to fill the town with small trees. Thanks to everyone who has ordered a tree – these will be going up, with the invaluable help of the Beverley Rugby…

Braves Charge To Victory Against Old Rivals Cottingham

October 10, 2011

Beverley Braves really let Cottingham know what they were up against within the first minute as Dylan Clifford tackled strong, low and powerful on an unsuspecting Tiger followed by a crunching, hard tackle by Kurt Pelham. These non stop tackles forced a scrum with head and feed to Beverley Braves and from this a lovely passing exhibition through many hands saw Owen Harrison receive and burst through the Cottingham defence…

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…

Shaw Comes Out Of Retirement For Haworth Defeat

October 2, 2011

Holiday and work commitments severley depleted Rich Shaw’s squad and left him with only 16 players available. Indeed he was forced to bring himself out of retirement and include himself on the bench. The starting line up was very makeshift with a number of players playing in unacustomed positions. Paul Atkinson was switched to prop and Steve Connolly filled in at hooker. In a game played in near record temparatures…

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…

Tough Start For Beverley Braves

September 15, 2011

The last few years have seen Beverley Braves start the rugby season against top team Skirlaugh Bulls and this was no exception. A blustery morning at Longcroft saw Skirlaugh pile on the pressure from the off and Beverley were forced to defend their own line. Skirlaugh broke through but a try saving tackle from Beverley knocked the ball from their hands for what would have been a certain try. Confident…

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…
