Neil's Notes v Hunslet/Away Travel v Featherstone : Fri Jun 10, 2011 7:31 am
Well thats 3 wins on the trot and now just outside the top 6. After that wonderful victory at Leigh last week it was always going to be difficult to follow that but as Jim Gannon, who was the guest player in the bar, said it showed how far we have got on. Earlier in the season we might not have come back in the the last quarter. He said how well Hunslet played and showed some good rugby. He always considered himself as a Halifax lad and was glad he had the oppurtunity to come back to play here in his last season before going back to Australia. Another adopted Yorkshire man!Club 1873 results
