Beavers Suffer Heavy Defeat at Penrith

March 13, 2011

This was a day best forgotten.  Beverley RUFC were totally outplayed from start to finish and produced as abject a performance as they have given for a long time.  It is difficult to comprehend how a side capable of playing such thrilling rugby as we have often seen this season can lapse into the sort of mediocrity we saw here.  Yet in the end it was probably not the defeat…

They will need to shake off the blues following last weekends comprehensive defeat by a strong Birkenhead Park side, which pushed them perilously close to the relegation zone.

Late Worrall Try Seals Victory For Beavers

February 21, 2011

Not much vintage rugby here. Beverley won in the end but they made hard work of it. Rochdale are rooted at the foot of the table and almost certainly facing relegation but they never gave this one up and they might easily have won. Only when David Worrall burst through for a try ten minutes from time could Beverley finally breathe easily. Beverley got the four league points and their…

Disappointing Beavers Fail to Hold On

February 14, 2011

After playing some thrilling rugby in recent weeks, Beverley RUFC were disappointingly back to their most frustrating here and could have few complaints about this defeat. Beverley were ponderous throughout and with more performances like this will be in danger of getting dragged into a relegation struggle. After twenty minutes Beverley RUFC were twelve points down after Billingham twice pounced on poor Beverley passes to score two tries. Eventually Beverley…

The first half was scoreless, and the Bandits received a talking to by their skipper about giving away too many silly penalties. After the restart Phil Cromie kicked a penalty for Beverley, but Scarborough then scored a break away try which was converted. Beverley Bandits took the lead when Andy Ellis scored a try…

Bradford Snatch Victory From Beverley at Beaver Park

February 6, 2011

A pulsating match and a thrilling finish.  A Phil Dale penalty five minutes from time looked to have won it for Beverley but Bradford came back again at the very death to snatch victory with a last gasp penalty. For half the match Bradford gave Beverley RUFC the run-around with some superb back play and it looked like Beverley were in for a mauling as the visitors cruised to an…

Beavers Come From Behind to Win Thriller at Beaver Park

January 23, 2011

What a match.  This was a thrilling encounter played at a great pace with the result in doubt until the very end.  It was an afternoon full of expectation, both these teams being capable of playing exhilarating rugby.  And they did not disappoint.  Chester are a fine well organised side going flat out for promotion and to have emerged triumphant against such a polished outfit was perhaps one of Beverley…

Beavers Host High Flyers Chester at Beaver Park

January 20, 2011

Beverley RUFC entertain Chester this Saturday at Beaver Park, kick-off 2.15 p.m., in what should be an enthralling encounter.

For their part Beverley completely revised their tactics and game plan last Saturday at Sandal and picked…

Driffield U17s Beat Beverley at Beaver Park

January 18, 2011

The score suggests a miserable day for Beverley U17s. But fair play to Beverley as they started the first 10/15minutes the brighter and scored the first try of the game. It didn’t take long for Driffield to get themselves back into the game, and as time moved on Driffield started to see more of the ball and put pressure on the Beverley try line. It was more of the same…

Intelligent Performance by Harding Helps Beavers to Victory

January 16, 2011

What a difference a week makes.  After their previous week’s fairly dismal return to action Beverley RUFC produced here some of their best rugby of the season. Although they slightly ran out of steam in the second half in the heavy going and playing up the slope their effort throughout was superb.  Neither backs nor forwards could be faulted as they moved the ball about fluently and with plenty of…

Beverley RUFC Vs Darlington Mowden Park: Report & Pictures

January 10, 2011

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…
