What a difference a month makes! Given the frustrations in our performances in October, November brought with it some pleasing results. Not only did we win three-out-of-three in the last month, but the nature of these performances were much improved. Despite a see-saw first half, against Roundhegians away, in which defence wasn't high on the agenda for either side, we came out a much more disciplined and committed outfit in Read more

Beverley RUFC managed to lift themselves up one more position in the Counties 1 Yorkshire league after a bruising encounter at Beaver Park as we enter into the second half of the season, claiming the double over visitors Bradford Salem. The conditions were tricky, very soft underfoot and aided by a couple of torrential downpours during the match. Although the performance was much better from the Beavers, especially in the Read more

Beverley RUFC managed to lift themselves up to 5th in the Counties 1 Yorkshire League after an entertaining match at Beaver Park against West Leeds. Both teams played inconsistently throughout the 80 minutes, but the neutrals will have found this an entertaining try-fest. Lack of structure and plenty of mistakes will have left both coaching teams frustrated, final score 42-29. Very early in the game the opening incident was the Read more

Much better by Beverley and at last the convincing victory they have frequently threatened this season but not delivered. How much of the winning margin today was due to Beverley's superior quality and how much to that of the opposition, who are without a win this season, is a matter of conjecture. But Beverley's supremacy was most emphatic even though their game was not entirely without its usual frustrating errors, Read more

The Beavers returned to their early season form with a hard-earned 36-14 win over a determined Leo’s. From the off Beverley looked a far more switched on and dangerous outfit than in recent weeks. As early as the 3rd minute an aggressive defensive effort ripped the ball loose to be quickly shipped wide to Jake Boardman who raced over to open the scoring in the corner 5-0. Both sets of Read more

Beverley needed to put in a good performance and stop the rot against second-placed Keighley in the Yorkshire County 1 competition, having had three consecutive defeats. Unfortunately, although there were glimpses of good performance, the individual effort and team play was not good enough to overpower the West Yorkshire team who took 4 points away from Beaver Park after a convincing 8-22 victory. The first half until the 39th minute Read more

Beverley needed to stop the rot having started well with three wins this season, but the two following defeats were close affairs but indicative of a team underperforming, and a tricky trip to Hull to play Hullensians in the local derby was to prove to be too big a challenge, crashing to their third consecutive defeat. To the delight of the home fans and players Beverley were beaten by a Read more

Having had their winning run stopped last week at Goole it was important that Beverley's 1st XV got back to winning ways against visitors Huddersfield Laund Hill RUFC to stay with the chasing pack especially given that Huddersfield were joint fifth with Beverley in the league. Unfortunately, after a credibly edgy game with plenty of points, the visitors took the spoils holding onto a 36-38 score-line at the end. A Read more

Beverley RUFC have picked up some good results at the start of the season. Head Coach, Craig Hancock has given his view of the last month at the Beavers. "At the start of the season, if I had been offered the chance of three wins out of four, I would've snapped your hand off! Looking at our fixture list, it was no doubt a tough start.
