Workington Town took on Workington Zebras in a rlcross coderl charity match in aid of the Workington Floods.
1st Half to Union Rules - Surprised that Town scored the first try and managed to win the Half. To be fair to the Zebras they had been involved a RU County Cup semi the day before and the scrums weren't contested.
Interesting attempts at lining out by Town.
2nd Half to League Rules with rlGary Schofieldrl playing for Town for the full half. He scored a conversion at the end of the game to allow him to say that he has scored for every team he has played for.
Thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon. Thanks to both clubs and Gary Schofield.
Fact for the day - According to the programme the ancestor to Workington Zebras went across to the Northern Union in 1898 before liquidating and reforming as Workington RUFC in 1909.

Match details on the News and Star Website rlHERErl
Final Score Town 32 v 4 Zebras - League scoring used in both halves.
Not sure on the crowd - They didn't open the Popular Side but the Grandstand was pretty full.
It was rearranged from 10th January when it was called off due to the bad weather.

Showed he still has the rugby brain but hasn't got the legs anymore, which is to be expected. Only got tackled in possession once IIRC.
Some of the Zebras players said afterwards they'd never been tackled as hard on a rugby field and found the speed of the game (even at Town's level) pretty amazing. |

Did he grow his 'tash back? Or does it grow magically when he puts his boots on?

[quote="dally messenger":1gysl9ow]was watching an nfl doco. on one of their teams and they used the term bomb to describe those long high passes from quaterback to running back and i think gibson took that idea, realized you cant throw the ball forward in RL and adapted it to a "bomb" kick we have[/quote:1gysl9ow]

It shows them up for what they are when you get genuine post like this mentioning league v union but doesn't gloat over the result whilst they get hard ons every time they think League has come up trumps.....sad little me that they are.
The important thing here is it seems a good day was had by all and a few quid went to a decent cause...  |

That doesn't surprise me, the egotistical c**t.
Still, good to hear that something is being done to help the victims of the floods. Good stuff. |
