Wasn't there, but do remember it being a warm day (probably hotter crammed into the ground) and Ashman was BOG after threatening to walk out (to Norf) over a pay dispute during the week, and Percy finally being allowed to play after not getting down to the exact required weight the week before, as dictated by Jezza (so it's your fault you didn't get to 250, Perc

).
I was wandering around at a school fete, getting updates from various people with radios.
We were
22 points down in the 3rd (or last?) and looking at losing to Norf twice in the season, but then we got it together. The flag felt a cert after that.
Great day, great year.
I've probably got that trailing margin confused with the winning one, but it was something similar, I'm sure.
