Many thanks for publishing these very interesting articles.

On the point of your team black days and heavy defeats. This is a quirky one for my team Wimbledon. On 11 May 1979 Wimbledon won 56-22 at Hackney (this was a new BL away win record). In the BL match the following season on 23 May 1980 Hackney beat Wimbledon, at home 56-22.

Ah yes, I remember that win! Pat Pawson rode that night, and scored a couple!
