Quote: ComeOnYouUll "It was a tournament held just the once and featured Hull and Halifax as English Champions and runners up from the previous season plus Albi and Carcasonne the top two from France.
Hull won the title with five wins and a draw from the six matches (Hull and Halifax's league games doubled as European Championship games). It seemed to have been popular, one of the games against Albi at The Boulevard was played on a Monday night due to a crowded fixture list and the attendance was 10,000. It was the third home game in four days after Carcasonne on the Friday and a league game with Bradford on the Saturday.
Mick Scott scored a last minute drop in the Albi game to earn Hull a draw. A big win over Halifax a week later won us the trophy.'"
Excellent re-call.
I've also got both programmes from our two home games.
I didn't realise that it only ran for one season. That means we are still the European Champions and BBC2 Floodlit Trophy holders. Perhaps we are too harsh on ourselves at times.
