Title: ... p82 Irvine, p64 Gasnier & p63 Langlands - Memories of game agains Castleford 1963 -by David Nath
|
I have watched our great game for over 50 years.
The great moments I could
recall are many. the one I have chosen was in 1963 Castleford v Australia at
Wheldon road.
The kangeroos were fresh from there fist test win and picked a
very strong team including full back Johns Gasnier, Langlands and Irvine. Cas.
started strongly and were soon 10-0 up through 2 tries by Johnny Ward and 2
goals by John Clark. The second of which just scraped over the bar both touch
judges waived no goal but ref over ruled them, It was a goal I was behind the
goals.
The aussies then clicked into gear Ken Irvine scoring two great tries in
the right corner at the wheldon road end.10-8 to Cas at half time the second
half was a very tense affair. Langlands Penalty levelled the scores and in the
last couple of minutes Les Johns dropped a goal from near half way. 10-12.
Then
a Australian pass was intercepted by Frank Smith who ran 50yds for the winning
try
The Aussies got a penalty with the last kick of the match and from half way
Langlands hit the top of the post and the ball came out.
A truely memorable
match. I got some autographs after the game including Gasnier Irvine and Johns
but Graham Langlands told me to F*** off. Never mind
