16th March 1986 : Fri May 29, 2009 11:34 pm  

As remarked in my match report this was the last time we lost at home in the Challenge Cup - so tonights win means a 23 year unbeaten home challenge cup tie record extends for another season.

26 attempts have now tried and failed to win at either Central Park or JJB Stadium since Castleford won 10-2 at Central Park in a Quarter Final on Sunday March 16th 1986.

Guess that's a reason to be thankful we haven't played at home much

26 attempts in 23 years???

Sounds alot better if you just say unbeaten since 1986 in the CC.

Still a good record though.
