WTRLFC WEBSITE Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Was this the first game after Ross O'reilly was relieved of his job during the week? Think I remember John Allen score in the corner towards the Derwent end of the main stand side to put us in front quite late. It was a good game... don't think we were expecting much from it. My mate Adrian Petrie was on the bench, had pushed through from the set up. Wonder if the Walker was maybe Kent Walker, not sure. I recall Adrian faced up to Muliumu or Fatiolofa in tackle I think and then remembered him sort of looking into the crowd at us watching with a sort of 'what was that' look on his face! I liked Baildon, blonde haired Aussie , good finisher. John Allen was a talented player too.. Graeme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Route66 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Remember going to that game but cant hardly recall some of them names playing. Scott Brown at standoff was someone who disappointed while here but seem to remember him throwing a couple of belting passes for tries that day. Great attendance think the jam thought they would romp it. Was it not Scott Walker on the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graeme Yes Graeme, Ross had gone...he was a lovely guy I had great craic with him when I was involved with Town Academy team. A Town artery that produced Adrian Petrie and Mark Wallace and more. Then next coach was another Aussie Rob Tew, signed from Warrington..least said best from me.(eh Budgie???).. I do think it was Kent Walker ... he'd been at Widnes first..could be wrong mind.(haven't put first names on my sheet for this one sadly). Baildon was a class player for sure.

Town Army Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Jamie Smith - Barrow based full back, looked a real prospect, ended up at Hull along with, Baildon, Logan Campbell and Brad Hepi. Like said above, John Allen scored late on to win the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like said above, John Allen scored late on to win the game Gareth Stephens at half back - Possibly with us on loan at the time? Sure he played at international level for Wales?

At home academy matches my wife used to announce teams scorers etc. over tannoy....and when Adrian scored she would say " try scored by... Adrian pet ray.....I could probably he heard in background saying, angrily, his name is pronounced as 'pea tree'....however she never took any notice and always said it her way lol.

Bearintown Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 First season after SL. We spent a load of money and got very little for it , finished bottom again and went into serious freefall . Only just saved from finishing bottom (for three years on trot) the year after ,by a win over Donny on the last? day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a bad year, infamous for Bob Jamieson buying the club...NOT. Think it was season we almost got chucked out of RL world.....a local wealthy garage/car sales owner put in £££££ bond to save club. Correct me if my memory is ###### pls.

Town Army Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 I'd imagine there was some money spent assembling that team, 4 lads brought in from overseas for a start . . . Only to finish bottom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
