I saw that earlier when searching for Carrillo; I couldn’t believe how many meetings he rode in and thought it was a typo, but back then, you had a 28-meeting Premier League, a 14-meeting Premier Trophy group, plus the knock-out stages to that competition and the Knockout Cup itself. Add in the Spring Cup and Scottish Cup fixtures, you were spoiled for fixtures.

You’re spot on regarding Bentley. He was particularly outstanding for Hull, if my memory serves me correctly. However, he wasn’t quite as potent in 2004 and 2005 marked his final year in the sport.

I think back in 1999 you had the Premier Trophy matches and challenges before the league started and I am sure Bentley at Glasgow averaged around 11 from the opening 5/6 meetings but could be wrong.

It was very rare to have a week without a meeting at home back then - early March right up until the end of October.

You had the 4tt qualis then as well. Could never understand why they scrapped them, they were a brilliant idea and ensured that the teams that qualified got there by right.

Banger was around an 11 pt ave and then he broke his ankle and I think we signed Les Collins then let Mick Powell go when Paul Bentley came back 

 

Thats right. Powell then went to Workington and was decent enough from memory.

Powell came to Berwick in 99 for the back end and I thought he did well. Got Bentley in 2000 but he was overshadowed by Moggo that year. 

I remember Moggo in 2000 guesting for Ben Howe at Swindon and getting a flawless 18 point max , went to Swindon the next season and dropped off a fair bit.

Yeah not sure what happened at Swindon pretty sure he ended up at Number 4 for them. Did pretty well for Stoke but never reclaimed the form he had in 2000.
