The lowest score that's never happened

That brings back memories. Visibility was that bad we couldn't see far enough across the pitch to watch the try being scored. Horrible weather, horrible game, horrible journey too IIRC

We thoroughly enjoyed it. Especially saints only scoring when crusader player was off the field having his thumb put back In (think it was Steve tyrer) other than that it was set for a draw.

But yes mud bath in a monsoon.

Someone will know better than myself but I’m positive Whitehaven and Workington had a 0-0 or 1-0 around the mid 90s

The Wire v Hull 2-3 was on the RL show in the Granada region only at the time. Can't remember what it was called but recordings of the game were much sought after in this part of the world.

This sounds more plausible. Thought it was at Wilderspool.

Posted this and been stuck in a work meeting since! Some great responses to this. I don't know the answer but I am sure there is someone out there that does. I am thinking it will be something like 13-3.

I was at the replay but I was only young so i don’t remember lot’s about it. Think it was Tony Anderson who scored the winning try

It was indeed off a Keith Neller(the prop) grubber through. I literally remember 2 things about that game, that try and a goalkeeper like dive by John Pendlebury to catch a ball that was going in to touch yet I have no idea why he did it because I don't think it was from a penalty. From the first game I vaguely remember a lot of drop goal attempts but nothing else.

I remember a 13-3 very vividly. It was the score Hull beat Hull KR in the very last BBC Floodlit Trophy Final.

Think you're right though. It's going to be higher than people think.

In my mind, I'm seeing Greg Mackey. Did he kick the drop goal?

And why do I remember it? Was it on TV?

Don’t know about tv but I listened to it on the radio.  I think he did.

The only thing I remember about the first game is a clearing kick by Gary Pearce going almost the full length of the field assisted by a near gale force wind blowing down the pitch.

What year did the 3 point try become 4?

KR 2 Barrow 1 as well I think. 1994 maybe?

 

EDIT - that finished 0-1!

October 1994 I think at Craven Park Hull, I played for Barrow in that game we won 0-1, Mike ‘Bluey’ Kavanagh kicked the drop goal on about 70 mins

Tony Anderson got them to the final but then I think got dropped for final

I remember Halifax beating Hull KR 4 -3, I think, in the CC semi final. If my memory serves me correct Halifax scored a late try from a kick to win it

It was Fax v Hull. Tony Anderson scored the Fax try.

Greg Mackey.  

I think it would’ve been Paul Eastwood who kicked the penalty goal.

If you trace this thread back, looks like @Gomersall is rather at cross purposes. And led me a merry dance up the garden path.

I remember Gary Pearce as the big signing for Scarborough Pirates. They were the purple pioneers of RL before Melbourne Storm. Coincidentally, Hull FC had recently courted controversy by adding splodges of purple to the irregular black and white hoops.

Mackey was still at Warrington in 1987/88.

Hull v Hull KR Floodlit Trophy final circa 1979/80. I know because for years they were my tote double numbers

Someone mentioned Halifax drawing 0-0 with Hull KR. They meant Hull FC in 1988 but for some reason you and Lowdesert went off on a Greg Mackey inspired tangent.

He's referring to a Warrington v Hull league game in 1990/91. As was I.

Read page 2 again and the reason should become clear.

[thirteenthman]

According to the Rothmans Yearbook, it was 13/10/1990 Hull 3 Warrington 2, Greg Mackey got the DG. And as mentioned previously, a week later Warrington also lost to Oldham by 4 points to 2. 

Same season, Warrington also beat Ryedale York in the 1st round of the CC by 8 points to 1.

Lowest aggregate, lowest for one team, or both?
