Thanks Steve, greatly appreciated. :)

This guy is good isn't he?

 

Steve so far you have filled many few holes in my records - don't suppose you can help with the 1983 KO Cup clashes between Canterbury and Exeter can you?

Hope that brings a few memories back, it sure does for me as we were on the way to our second league title. :approve:

 

And your memory serves you well on the score at Mildenhall the following day. :wink:

Cheers for that Kev . Glasgow didn't exactly set the heather on fire in those days , but as it is now , it was great fun following them up and down the country .

Benny Rourke what ever happened to him, I seem to remember him going to be the next big thing to come out of Scotland.

His career never really hit the heights . Left the tigers and ended up with the monarchs - says it all really . Was in attendance at Glasgow's 60th anniversary meeting in September .

I'm back from my abortive trip to Newport !

I had one of those too - I got the message the meeting was off as we were going over the bridge!!

 

Anyway, thanks once again Steve I really do appreciate it.

 

Pushing my luck now, but have you got dates and scorers from 1973 KOC matches H & A v Eastbourne and H & A v Long Eaton please?

Steve, I know it's a bit of a cheek, but if you could also post the KOC scorers from 1982 H&A Canterbury v Weymouth I would really appreciate it. Cheers. :)
