I remember a cup tie in 86 in the snow that Leeds won 24-4. Tony Currie scored a peach at the bottom of the hill and Keith Rayne scored off a Jeff Grayshon offload.
Fans were pelting snowballs around that day so I presume that's one you are talking about.
Halifax was top of the league and had Joe Kilroy at full back who was frozen to death as was I.
we went on to lose in cup semi replay v KR at Bell End Road.
Hello all, long time supporter, first time poster here...
With respect I think Kevin Rayne scored off a Grayshon offload in the 18-18 league match draw earlier in the season. I remember he used to follow Grayshon often & burst onto a short pass "off the shoulder" if you know what I mean.
I do remember the freezing cold cup game you refer to. The entire 25 metre zone was frozen at one end and I recall Creasser shooting past Kilroy to score with the latter seemingly struggling for traction. The Evening Post comment was something like "Creasser skated past Kilroy."
Thanks for triggering all these great memories.
