For a moment then I thought Hull KR had stayed on the pitch at Wembley after everybody else had gone home.

 

If memory serves, Hull FC were beating Swinton 31-0 once and managed to lose 31-32.

 

My good mate Ullman will no doubt either confirm or correct this.

Hello Old Frightful, as a Swinton fan sorry to intrude on private grief, but I think I remember this match at the Boulevard in the 80's. I think the comeback was in the high twenty points rather than 31-32, but may be wrong. I seem to recall it was one of Tommy Frodsham's trademark interceptions which won the match. I think the match cost Len Casey his job as coach.

 

I replied to this post on the General board and wondered if other Swinton fans remember this great fightback at Hull, and if my recollections are correct ?

I remember Swinton winning at Hull in the mid seventies when I think both teams were in the 2nd division and my favourite player (then and now) Kevin Whittle switched to hooker and dominated the scrums - you know those things that used to be competitive, but also Kevin almost single handed overcame the Hull pack.

I *think* the Hull game was 28-6 at half time, 28-32 at full. I was there, but the memory isn't what it was. And yeh, a Frod special :-)

 

You're bang on there with the score-line mate!

 

We were behind the sticks when Tommy grabbed that "inter" and touched down!

 

We didn't win many that season, but this game was the tops!

 

Spelly.

Daily, my intense dislike of the Pinks, Rugby Yawnion, Manchester United, and far-right politics, grows ever larger, and will continue to do so forever more!

Question! What's the connection between Rugby League and Rugby Yawnion? Answer! There isn't one!

My girl-friend asked "If you had to choose between me and Swinton who would it be?" I replied "You know the answer to that one without even asking!"
