we did it twice against Dewsbury during the 1977-78 season but the second game was in the Floodlit Trohpy

The last time we actually Nilled the same team twice in a season was Swinton in the 1953-54 season.

Mamoth 2-0 and 8-0 scorelines.

we also amazingly have done the double, two teams nilled in a season home and away Liverpool Stanley and Whitehaven in the 1948-49 season.

Oh dear Paul!

Leave it to your Statistician! lol

What about Workington Town in 1979-80 (nilled once in the Challenge Cup admittedly)

and, about Liverpool City, also in 1953-54 and in the league too thus negating the need to mention 1948-49 season, lol!

Anyway, for the record, here's what I posted on red vee when Blobby asked the question!

In 'League' Matches (which I am assuming you mean), the last time this happened was over 55 years ago, in 1953-54 and it happened twice in the same season:

14/11/53 Swinton (H) W 2-0
09/01/54 Swinton (A) W 8-0
(For the record, Saints also beat Swinton (H) on 23/09/53 by 38-9 in a Lancs Cup Rd 2 match that year)

15/08/53 Liverpool City (A) W 46-0
20/03/54 Liverpool City (H) W 18-0

Whilst we're on the subject, it is over 73 years since it happened to Saints, way back in 1935-36:

26/12/35 Wigan (H) L 0-14
10/04/36 Wigan (A) L 0-14


However to literally answer you Blobby! If you include Cup ties. In 1979-80, Saints nilled Workington twice in the same season and in 1977-78 Saints nilled Dewsbury twice:

23/12/79 Workington (H) W 51-0
10/02/80 Workington (A) W 16-0 - CC1
09/04/80 Workington (A) L 5-20

18/09/77 Dewsbury (A) W 18-0
11/10/77 Dewsbury (H) W 51-0 - FT1
08/01/78 Dewsbury (H) W 23-7

So there you have it!

Amateurs! lol

I've just double checked and the reason the games didn't come up in my search was because someone, to remain nameless, put a "SPACE" after the "0" so when I did a search for equal to "0" those one's didn't appear.

Less of the fighting while I´m away on my hols - I´m still keeping my eye on you lot.

( by the way I´m sat here in sunny Majorca while you lot are sat at home in sunny England. Watched the Cas and Cats game last night and will be taking in the Wigan match later. )

See you all next week.

Sometimes, nothing beats returning to the old original spreadsheets and manually trawling through them!
