Braves win all the
top awards at HKR
2014 Roll of Honour
Hull KR scholarships (under 16)
Joe Wardill; Dylan Clifford;
Harry Inman; Owen Harrison
Beverley Braves players won all the top awards at the
recent Hull Kingston Rovers young player of the year awards.
Under 16’s players Joe Wardill, Dylan Clifford and Harry
Inman all left with a trophy. Full back Joe was named
Scholarship Player of the Year and Player’s Player of the
Year whilst Dylan was Scholarship Man of Steel. Finally
Harry scooped the Scholarship Try of the Season award,
which was extra special given Joe and Dylan were involved
in the build up to that score. Parents and coaches alike are
really proud of what the lads have achieved and it really
shows what can be achieved as a Beverley Braves player.
Joe has further reason for celebration as he has now
signed a contract for the Rovers under 19 side which means
this will be his last season with the Braves. The lads are
shown opposite at the awards alongside fellow Braves team
mate Owen Harrison whose season with the Hull KR
scholarship was cut short due to injury.
Meanwhile the Braves 16’s continue their success in
the Yorkshire League first division, a recent home victory over Featherstone Lions means
they consolidated third in that division.
Players and Coach wanted!
All teams from the cubs (under 6) to open age are always on the lookout for new
players. If you know anyone who is interested in playing the game they can come down
to any training session and speak to the coaches, or contact them using the details at
the end of this newsletter. We are also looking for a coach for the cubs. This would
be coaching the youngest members of the club on Saturday mornings and attending the
occasional cubs galas. The club will pay for the right person to take their level 1
coaching certificate. Interested? Speak to Neil Gay (07460 898724).
And there is more success at the other age levels……
Whilst the success of the under 16’s is something to be proud of at the club, the other age groups
have not been short of their own successes either. During the summer the under 13’s won a tournament
hosted in Wakefield by Eastmoor Dragons. This would have been a great achievement for any age group but
considering the under 13’s had just a handful of players back in March when the season started this was
another great example of the strides this team has made under new coach Tim Nicolini.
The under 11’s won a thrilling semi-final of the Admiral of the Humber Cup, winning in extra time
against West Hull. Their reward was a final at Haworth Park against East Hull, the only unbeaten team at
this age level. The Braves put in a fantastic performance in the final and were seen by many as the better
side, but the could not convert this into a victory, going down 12-4. This is surely a sign of things to come in
the next few seasons for this team as they can safely say they are one of the top teams at this age level.
The under 8’s have been busy as well having a
successful Burton Pidsea festival where they played four
games and at a Hull FC festival where they played a
further two games. The Burton Pidsea squad is pictured
with coach Neil Goforth and Airlie Bird (Neil is on the
left).
Meanwhile the under 9’s took part in a great
Veterans festival in East Park at the end of July, the lads
are pictured below after receiving their medals from Hull
FC head coach, Lee Radford.
Last and by no means least the under
12’s have had a steady season winning and
losing equal amounts of games meaning they
reached the cup quarter-finals and sit in mid
table in their division of thirteen teams. They
are looking forward to the end of season group
finals at Haworth Park on 5th October as their
last chance to win some silverware this season.
Judging by their latest game, a 16all draw at
Skirlaugh they have every right to be
confident.
STANDING ORDER PAYMENTS
The club would like all parents to pay their child’s subs by standing order. Collecting cash is a real
drain on our volunteer resources, by paying by standing order you are allowing those people who
collect the cash time to add something more into the club – or spend time watching their child train or
play.
In order to this, you can arrange with your bank to pay £10 per child monthly into Lloyds TSB account
17515860, sort code 30-10-76, account name 'Beverley Braves Rugby League Club'. You must ensure
that the reference on the Braves account transaction is your child’s name otherwise when the money comes
into the account we will not know who it has come from and your subs will still be outstanding.
Thank you for your help in this matter, if you are having difficulty with this request please speak to your
team coach.
DATES FOR YOUR DIARY
There are several dates that you will need for your diary: Friday 31st October – Halloween Race night at Hodgsons to raise money for the
club. Come in Fancy Dress, enjoy some games and competitions and bet on a few
horses. Start at 7.30. £25 to sponsor a race – speak to Neil Goforth on 07908
015 839
Friday 21st November – the Beverley Braves awards night; All the age groups
will receive their annual awards and recognition together at the Memorial Hall.
Times to be confirmed but the younger age groups will be at the first session
with the older age groups – under 11 upwards - at a later session.
Saturday 22nd November – The annual Beverley RLFC sports dinner at Lazaats in
Cottingham. Tickets are £30 per person or £275 for a table of ten. For tickets
contact Ian Pollard 01482 679444
FUN RUN UPDATE
It seems a long time ago now but back at
the beginning of May we had the third
annual Beverley braves fun run. Once
again the Fun Run will be the single biggest
fund raiser for the club in this financial
year. It had more runners that ever before
(just over 150) and once expenses have been
accounted for it will have made over £2,000
for the club funds. Thank you for all the
runners who not only completed the race
but collected the sponsor money as well. If
you still have some sponsor money to
collect, it is not too late make sure you give
it to your coach as soon as possible. For the
record the prize for the most sponsor
money collected went to under 8 Charlie
Brown who raised an amazing £212 and he
now has the luxury of a full year of free
subs from the club. Well done Charlie!
Thanks also to the race starters, Hull FC
and Great Britain Rugby League legend
Johnny Whiteley ably assisted by Miss Hull
and District 2014, Zara Holland and Hull
FC under 19 player Charlie Johnson.
As far as results were concerned Isaac
Tones, one of a good number of runners
from Cottingham Tigers RLFC, was the
first home overall. Joe Wardill was the first
Beverley runner home, taking the award
for the under 16's team, with Charlie Gay
the second Brave to finish and therefore
winning the rosette for the under 11's. Joe
Anguish was the best finisher for the under
13's with Lewis Egan first for the under
12's. Connor McCabe ran the fastest time
for the under 8's with Jacob Parkinson
doing the same for the under 9's.
Of course special thanks must go to Neil
Gay and Pat Egan for the hard work they
put in to organise the run and make sure it
was completed successfully and safely. In
addition, all those who helped either as
marshals or by registering the runners
deserve get a big pat on the back as without
them the run could not have happened.
Finally thanks to Tesco for supplying fruit
and Nestlé Waters for providing Buxton
bottled water for the runners.
Annual General Meeting
The AGM was on the 7th of June at Hodgsons.
All the existing officers were re-elected to their positions.
Accounts for the year up to 31st March 2014 showed a surplus of income of £2,652 which, although a
healthy position to be in, underlines the importance of fundraising. Without the fun run there would
not have been a surplus.
Largest expenditure was on Kit, Equipment and Clothing (£2,988), the hire of the pitches at Longcroft
(£1,821), Trophies (£1,215), presentations and food (£930), Insurance (£733) and coach travel (£725).
Other than the fun run the main income was from subs (£8,565).
Exciting news about the future of the club
Keep your eyes peeled on the website and newsletter for some very exciting news about the future of
our club. There has been a huge amount of work going on in the background over the last few months
from various representatives of the club and local agencies. The result of this hard work is likely to be
confirmed very soon and it is probably the biggest single step forward the club – particularly the
junior section - has seen in many years.
Who’s who at Beverley Rugby League Club?
There are lots of people who volunteer their time to ensure the club runs in an efficient manner. The club is split in to two parts; the Junior section and the Open
Age and each has its own committee and contacts. Details are below.
