A great night for the Bulls, the title race and for Super League

[League Express]

Raymond Fletcher, who died on Thursday, worked for the Yorkshire Post as their Rugby League reporter until 1996. He then worked as a freelance writer, reporting regularly on matches in League Express.

As a tribute to Raymond, we are pleased to reprint one of his earliest League Express match reports, from Odsal Stadium, when the Bulls won an epic clash against Wigan.

This report first appeared in League Express on 16 July 1996, and even today has a great resonance and demonstrates his love for Rugby League.

At League Publications we would like to extend our condolences to Raymond's family and friends for their very sad loss.
