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.
Last time we were nilled in successive league games.

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 findingsvandeveldtsbaldhead wrote: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.

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!
