How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?:icons077e_files/4864-863FALH-msnicons.jpg |

However, I can't see any home fixtures for either Workington or Cardiff after this date - in fact I can't see any fixtures for Cardiff at all, either in that season or the next one. The first reference I can see to Cardiff is in the 1983/4 season when we play them at HP in the John Player Cup.'"
Mish no probs , it looks like Garry Ainsworth . The reason I mentioned those teams was purely on trying to identify the kit. Back in the `80s a lot played in similar, apologies for the confusion. |

As a suggestion that may not be to far wide of the mark try looking for " Bridgend Blue Dragons " I went to that game and stayed with the Taff half of our clan that weekend .
( I was only 2 at the time though )  |

Rugby League is folklore. What captures our imagination is not simply the winning or the losing, it's the stories. The stories of perseverance, of sheer will, of hard work, of heartbreak, of miracles, and of triumph and tragedy.:43504.jpg |

| Quote: mishmash "Is this team Featherstone?
 '"
Dont know whether its Fev, but isnt that Derek Pyke on the extreme right, either that or its Oliver Hardy. |

We decided it was some sort of charity game because there's another photo with the same strip and Kevin Ashcroft, Ray Tabern and Tommy Gittins are all playing in the dark strip.

LIVING THE DREAM ALL THE WAY TO THE SUPER LEAGUE PLAY-OFFS!

| Quote: Snowy "John Henderson. One of my Favourite players a kid. Lightning quick and great footwork.
I vaguely remember a game against Widnes at HP (Which we lost 24-16 I think), and remember him scoring an 80 yarder leaving John Bassnett and Joe Lydon for dead !
As already said though, his failure to pass when clean through from a Harry Pinner pass v Saints was heartbreaking. That would have levelled it 14-14 with us well on top ! ![]()
Didnt Harry Pinner only sign for us one year later mate?
