There were two other near misses that I know of in addition to that semi, which was by far the biggest.When we were in the old second division, maybe 1964, we went to Hull KR, who were a top 1st division team, and lost 6 to 5 and we scored the only try. There was also a Yorkshire cup semi final against Trinity who were right at the top of the game Neil Fox, Derek Turner etc. We gave up home advantage and played the game at Odsal and lost 5 to 4. Neil Fox scored the Trinity try when he played the ball forward to himself and dived over for the games only try. That is against the rules in the present era. Keighley is a small club with a chequered history but we have had our moments.

Quote: Rach "All the info on there was 'lifted' in true Wikipedia fashion from the old club history website that I ran alongside the old club website around 2005 /2006 and came from a fairly comprehensive club history written by John Pitchford , David Kirkley , John Doveston and the late Eric Lund and for some reason there is a massive chunk covering the 60s and 70s missing from there which covered the 76 semi in great depth . On the original 'Lawkhomers to Cougars ' website there was also a section on memorable matches and I know that the semi was one of the highlighted games .

When the club decided to take over control of the club website and its design , the history website proved uneconomical for me to keep running on its own for the few hits it got a month and was taken down

With the cost of webhosting coming down fairly rapidly I'm now in the midst of redesigning the site with some massive help on the content side from David 15.83447265625:10
