Thanks to Norman Angell’s comprehensive records, we continue to take a trip down memory lane. We look at matches played this week, five, ten and 15 years ago with team sheets, scorers and results. Check to see if you feature in this week’s trip down memory lane.

This fixture was the very last game Hull RUFC played at Haworth Park, ending a 16-year tenure. By a strange coincidence the very first game played at the Ferens Ground on 20th September 2008 was also against Westoe. This time the score was very different with Hull winning by 63-8 after leading by just 14-8 at half-time.
