Dennis Colbon is Liam Colbons dad. Liam played for Wigan, London and I think both Hull clubs. He was at school with and a good friend of my sons.
I think Dennis also dis a lot of coaching at Pilks.

If memory serves me right it was the year after Pilks ran Wigan close at Knowsley Road, 10 -4. Pilks put up a similar good effort but Cas won comfortably in the end. The centre Alan Shea lived down our street, Chamberlain St

Wow. To only lose to Wigan 10-4 and Cas by a point is remarkable. They must have been a belting amateur team.

Thank you both for replying.

No Wigan were c**p...........

Seriously both were great games in front of big and vocal crowds. Wigan were losing for much of the game but got a dodgy penalty and a try in the last 20 minutes.

The popular side amused themselves by singing "what a load of rubbish" at the pies.

Nothing changed there then
