Canterbury 1971

Benny Rourke what ever happened to him, I seem to remember him going to be the next big thing to come out of Scotland.

His career never really hit the heights . Left the tigers and ended up with the monarchs - says it all really . Was in attendance at Glasgow's 60th anniversary meeting in September .

I'm back from my abortive trip to Newport !

I had one of those too - I got the message the meeting was off as we were going over the bridge!!

 

Anyway, thanks once again Steve I really do appreciate it.

 

Pushing my luck now, but have you got dates and scorers from 1973 KOC matches H & A v Eastbourne and H & A v Long Eaton please?

With Graham Miles and Martin Piddock in the team Mum and Auntie Pam were probably all of a quiver sat there watching it :wink:

 

Steve you are slowly becoming my new found "forum stat hero" so on that note ................. can you or anyone else please provide results for 1984 KOC H/A Weymouth and H/A Peterborough by this time I was filling in programmes but on the home meetings I was (oh dear I'm going to regret this :oops: ) working the main gate and away meetings I'd discovered the bars :wink:

I'd have been gutted if I had a hotel booked, but trust you had a good time anyway Steve - are you going to try your luck this Sunday, because I think I may owe you a beer!!!

 

Thanks again for the results, it really is appreciated - erm :oops: , you haven't got '74 and '75 both H and A v Eastbourne have you please?
