Low scoring RL games : Mon May 30, 2011 1:01 pm  

Looking more over at MartyB and Griff, have you ever seen a 0-0? I'm pretty sure the lowest scoring Eagles game was our 3-0 defeat at Widnes in the late 90s, there was an academy final between Leeds and Hull about five years ago which finished 1-0.

Yes - the Hull v Halifax semi final in 1988. Halifax won the replay 4-3.

I don't expect to be seeing too many more .....

That 3-0 at Widnes was in 2001. The lowest score I've seen at an Eagles game was 10-6 at Dewsbury a few years back.

I thought it was after 2000 but I googled it and something said it was 98/99, should learn to trust my instincts!

It was certainly after we reformed.

I can recall a Floodlit Trophy game from the 1970's (Yes I AM old enough to vaguely remember it) ending 0-0. I think Salford were one of the competing teams. I did attend the Hull v Halifax game and the replay.

I seem to remember a game from Eagles first season, where we involved in a 8-6 win over Batley.

Re: Low scoring RL games : Wed Jun 08, 2011 4:59 pm  

I've just checked the record books:

13.4.86-Eagles 8-6 Batley.
Scorers for Eagles: Try, Andy Dickinson. Goals, Roy Rafferty (2).
Crowd: 600-Owlerton Stadium.

Sad Nigel. Who needs ya !

Yeah - close .... second season.

Cheers Griff. Funnily enough, we lost in same season to Wakefield (a) by the same score. A year or two later, Eagles lost to Rochdale 2-7.
I must admit I can't find a lower score than the 0-3 defeat at Widnes, as far as Eagles are concerned.
