OriginalMrC Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Interesting article on cup shocks over the years Amateur teams have beaten pro/semi pro fairly regularly over the years. No signs that it's increased in recent years though, as has been mentioned here, 2016 was a particularly bad year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a £10 treble on Kells, Pilks and Lock Lane, as well as £25 on Kells at 2/1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbe Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Good for game that the amateurs win, but for a lot League 1 teams this is almost a pre season hit out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Stein Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Leaving shortly for the Skolars Chargers match. Only a 90 minute journey for a home game. Really looking forward to it after the last couple of years, but, having seen the Skolars squad, it is with a bit of trepidation. Most experience has been ripped out of the team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hallucinating Goose Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Great first try from the Army! Interception on their own line and a length of field sprint to open the scoring after a lot of pressure from the Navy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerrumonside ref Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 A classic length of the field effort! Theres also been a bit of biff brewing with volleys from the Army and broadsides from the Navy in return. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Futtocks Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 BIG hit from Tamani! Bradford fans of a certain age may have heard that sentence before.

Futtocks Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 (edited) That was a beauty of a try, made by No.7 Declan Baines/Baynes.

The Hallucinating Goose Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Another stunner from the Army! Show and go, footwork to put Michael Flatley to shame! Brilliant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futtocks Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Overall, this has been a fairly ordinary half, with plenty of errors on both sides, but the highlights have been very high indeed.
