JonT Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Found an old early 1930s Yorkshire Post in the parents loft and was intrigued to spot a write up of York's visit to Salford. We'll gloss over the result but i enjoyed the references of the referee having to 'admonish' both the players and crowd. Also interesting to note that tries were improved not converted!

spanishknight Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Up untill the 70s the Press report used to put improved the try when converting, those were the days when you went to the paper shop and bought the Sports Press an hour after the game finished.
