cheers
of all the games forgotten in recent years that one sticks with me
looking @ the sides widnes were pretty much full strength.
was sure mark massa & wayne heron played but heselwood was largely a centre, wilkinson mainly a fullback, binder hardly played as did mitchell, & sykes & armitage must have been young.
2 other archive matches a semi final @ fartown i think against won 8-2 on penalties with conway chosen ahead of dick to play gregory.
And a home match against hull in the days they filled the south stand. Think we were losing by a point when heselwood put dick through & he really seemed to ttake a dive to get a match winning penalty.
