Keith Smith at his brilliant best.

Keith Smith ,one of the best centres to play for Waky .The Dummy he did was so good half the spectator missed is try because they were looking the other way

Yep, I was there when Keith Smith somehow made the ball disappear, then ghosted around their winger, only for it to re-appear as he touched down behind the sticks....one of the best tries I have ever seen

Think I was stood right at the side of you, nearly sure that the guy he dummied the ball to was Terry Day who to this day probably thought he had the ball, can't quite remember the team but am pretty sure that Roy Bratt, Brian Juliff, Colin Forsyth, trevor midgeley played that day

Found a picture of the programme which lists

Steve Diamond at full back, fletcher on one wing, terry day in centre, steve tinker in other , adrian barwood on other wing, Toppo and Agar at halves, Front row of forsyth mcurrie harris, Kelly, Juliff and Lampkowski in Pack - so guess there must have been a couple changes on the day

I remember it well, fantastic atmosphere & a really tight game.

I must have been happy with the result, it was only the second time ever I went onto a pitch to congratulate the lads.
