I was saddened today to hear that Big Jack Hirst passed away last week. I remember Jack being a big part of the Classy Cas team of the early 60's. Jack was a rock in that Cas team and a really lovely guy, who did a lot in the amateur game on his retirement from the professional ranks, in particular at Oulton Raiders, where he was President.
My deepest sympathy goes to his wife and his two sons Neil and John, his grandchildren and his many friends.
Jack's funeral will be held at Rothwell Church, on Tuesday 30th October at 11am.
RIP Jack, you will be sadly missed.

Seem to recall he was one of our first signings when Northern reformed in 1964. As you say r.i.p.

[b:3oz7jfnu]Wigan Warriors coach Shaun Wane told BBC Radio Manchester:
"Some people within the club [Castleford] have come out with comments saying we're beatable and it's a great game for them and they're very confident.
Many of the comments I've heard have been bordering on disrespectful.
They can be as confident as they want, but they're going to get a tough game this weekend and we'll be trying our best to make sure they don't get that win.
We've played in some big games over these last few years and they've not played in as many, if any, so to be that confident is very risky for them.
They come here with confidence because they've scored a lot of points and beaten us at home, but I wouldn't be overconfident if I was them."
[u:3oz7jfnu]Incidentally Wane's mob got stuffed 16 - 4[/u:3oz7jfnu] [/b:3oz7jfnu]:30462.jpg |
