1970 - AH YES I REMEMBER IT WELL. CASTLEFORD V WIGAN.
18TH MINUTE, COLIN TYRER (WIGGIN) FIELDED A KICK IN HIS OWN HALF AND PASSED TO KEVIN O'LOUGHLIN IN SUPPORT. A SPLIT SECOND AFTER THE BALL HAD GONE, KEITH HEPWORTH (CASTLEFORD) CAME IN HIGH AND LATE. TYRER CRASHED TO THE FLOOR, BLOOD POURING FROM A FACIAL INJURY, AND WAS CARRIED OFF. TYRER HAD TO UNDERGO EXTENSIVE DENTAL WORK , BUT NOTHING WAS BROKEN. CLIFF HILL REPLACED TYRER, THUS BECOMING THE FIRST SUB IN A CHALLENGE CUP FINAL. HEPWORTH CLAIMED LATER THAT HE THOUGHT THAT TYRER WAS GOING TO KICK THE BALL AND SO WENT IN HIGH. (HMMM). THE FINAL SCORE WAS 7 - 2 TO CASTLEFORD. SEVERAL PENALTY KICKS BEING MISSED BY WIGAN (TYRER BEING THE FIRST CHOICE KICKER).
