Last time we were nilled in successive league games.

Post by vandeveldtsbaldhead » 08 Oct 2018, 10:22

After spending all yesterday afternoon trawling through the Castleford Tiger book, I eventually found that the last time Castleford were nilled in successive games was in 1929, yes 1929 , 89 years ago. On the 16th March they lost 5-0 to keighley and 3 days later they lost to huddersfield 7-0.

Another interesting fact.

They were nilled at home against Huddersfield in 1961 (0-0), then they went 45 years before being nilled at home, that was against Wakefield in 2006 (18-0), and that was the last time we were nilled at Wheldon Road.

Hope this is of some interest.

Was asking about this at the PieDome on Friday. I blame Dr Who for being a woman. Well Done btw.
To finish last in the Tour de France, first you must finish.

Thanks. I put the first bit on another thread a couple of days ago but interesting to see your additional findings
I thought it was also interesting that the game immediately before we were nilled twice we knocked Wigan out of the cup and nilled them!
