Cracking result, 9 missed conversions cost us tallying up a ton but never mind, lads must be buzzing after that. Roll on next week and lets get to the next round of the cup

A long time since we've put a team to the sword like that, makes being burnt to a crisp looking at twitter well worth it.

Haven post a resounding win over West Wales Raiders

Whitehaven 84 - West Wales Raiders 6 (25yarder - is this a home record)?

Your match thoughts.........
It certainly is a record on 2 counts
1. Highest ever HOME win (previous record was 80:6 against Nottingham on last day of 91/2 season with 5 tries by Vince Gribbin and 12 goals by Steve Maguire.

nb the highest ever score was AWAY to Highfield on 25 Jan 95 when we won 86:6 with the match being abandoned after 63 mins due to adverse weather (with approval of both teams)!!

2.  The above games produced 14 and 15 tries respectively ,  Today's tally of 17 is a new record

Great win against a poor side, who never gave up mind you.

Dave Thompson is wasted on the wing, and if the Ref hadnโ€™t read up on the Forward Pass rule last night, we would have easily hit 100.

Any one know the score when we beat Hunslet in the 50s I know we scored 80 or more but I forget the final score, Hunslet great Geoff Gunny played in that game. I think Bill Holliday broke JJ McKeown's goal kicking record for one game.:nod: :nod: :nod:.

  Just checked the records, Whitehaven beat Hunslet 61-0  Bill Holliday kicked 11 goals.

Very easy win today. I actually felt sorry for West Wales. Thought the sending off was harsh. It was clumsy but not malicious. Yellow card would have been better.

As for records if Dan had kicked all his conversations Mick Nanyns record would have gone. Mind you some were difficult.

Biggest disappointment was just 401 at the game after the club offered discount admission. I'm sure there will be more next week and if we beat Rochdale and get a plum home draw many will crawl out the woodwork and claim to be loyal fans  :uhoh: :uhoh:
