This weekend, was the week before the Wembley cup final and a daunting trip to St Helens was made even more daunting when Nathan Brown announced the squad, which featured mainly some untried youngsters and squad players, trying to break through.
What happened was unbelievable, although eventually losing 10-12, we were, for large parts of the game in front, against what was in effect saints' strongest team, a very proud night for our club, just a shame that there was very few people there to show their appreciation, with very few Fartowners in a 8,700 crowd as most of the regulars gave it a miss with Wembley coming up.

The team that night, we are all familiar with most of them now though at the time was a very inexperienced team

Hmm, elliott was a good lad, he moved on when Lunty started seeing his "ex" missus and they quickly had a kid/got married.
he started his own heating engineering firm which I gather is doing well, he's now playing rugby union at Lockwood park for Huddersfield.
At fullback We also had Grix, Leroy was playing FB at times, McNally, and Elliot Gorman in the U19s - he went to the rabbitohs and last I heard was playing lower grade rugby at Sydney bears I think.
We went from having too many FBs to....

I remember Bruno scoring a great try in the play off semis a couple years ago with the kick through.

Can't remember exactly but think we only got one in this and it was a Hodgson flick pass to the right wing? Assume it was Leroy that finished?
