Castleford Tigers 70 Hunslet Hawks 0
Attendance:4,483
Highlights:
-After last weeks slightly below par performance (even though we won), normal service resumed as we played some very good flowing rugby, resulting in decent tries. Ok, it was 'only' Hunslet but we won without the more experienced players e.g. Brad Davis, Deon Bird, Steve Crouch.
-However, even more pleasing than any of the tries was our defence. That's 1 try conceded in 3 games now.
-Once again, a great attendance especially given that Hunslet didn't bring many.
Lowlights:
-I can't really think of any. Our discipline was much improved, we were excellent in attack and defence and we scored a few points. Thats all you can ask for, really.
Boom of the match:Can't remember any particularly big hits.
Referee Rating:Peter Bentham 8. Controlled the game well, although a lot of decisions went Castleford's way. Not that I'm complaining.
How Many Cas Fans?4,400
How were the Cas Fans?Things livened up after Jon Hepworth scored his 2nd try on 53 minutes. Up till then, we were a bit quite.
Comedy Moment:Take your pick from...
-Waine Pryce's catch when Hunslet didn't find touch. He had time to light a cigar, have a bit of coffee and cake etc and still look completely relaxed when he caught the kick...you get the picture.
-The Hunslet fan stood next to me. When Handforth sent a bomb straight into the Wheldon Road end, he said ''your good'' followed by ''no wonder you were relegated with players like him.''
He then followed this up by explaining we shouldn't applaud one of Castleford's try's because it should never have been given. Muppet!
My MOTM:Craig Huby. Scvored two tries, set up one, and scored 8 out of 11 goals.
In a nutshell:Yes, we will play harder teams than Hunslet. Things are looking good though, we've beaten NL2 favourites York, local rivals Featherstone and next week we play Hunslet again at their 2,500 capacity stadium. Castleford have been given 1,500 tickets so it should make for a good crowd and hopefully a decent atmosphere. Oh, and it's my Birthday so any free lemonades will be accepted!
