WELCOME FROM
THE DIRECTOR
OF SPORT
Welcome to
the Prince of
Wales Stadium
for this exciting
Fourth Round
clash in the
Ladbrokes
Challenge Cup.
In particular welcome to
the players, management,
directors and supporters of
Hunslet Hawks. We enjoyed
some great matches
against them last year
and hope they’ve enjoyed
their promotion to the
Championship. We will be
watching their progress
with great interest this
season.
I know our staff and
players are really up for this
game and we’re hoping
that the magic of the cup
will help deliver some
excellent entertainment this
afternoon. Get behind Lee
and the boys and I’m sure
they will deliver a great
performance for you today.
We may only have a short
history but the All Golds
now have supporters across
P4
the length and breadth of
Britain and we now even
have some who follow
our progress from foreign
shores as well. This may
make regular attendance
at the Prince of Wales
a bit of a challenge but
“JUST SHY OF
1000 PEOPLE
WATCHED
THE RECENT
SKIRLAUGH
GAME LIVE
ONLINE”
thanks to a series of new
innovations we are now
able to share the matchday
experience via Craig Paul
Design’s outstanding www.
allgoldsrugby.com. The
new Matchday Centre
offers minute by minute
updates on each game,
with Patrick Baines at the
helm. Just shy of 1000
people watched the recent
Skirlaugh game live on
line and our audience is
building for every match.
Post match we have the
amazing All Golds TV with
highlights packages and
interviews, and we have
to thank Jeremy Power
and the students from the
University’s TV Production
course for the superb
coverage they are able to
generate for us.
We are committed to
building the experience for
all supporters and hope
that you can take the time
to enjoy these new media
initiatives. Let’s hope we
can see a few tries for the
home team on the next
highlights package, which
should hit the website on
Monday.
Enjoy the game today and
we hope to see you all in
the next round...

WELCOME FROM
LEE GREENWOOD
HEAD COACH
Welcome
to Hunslet
Hawks this
afternoon
for what will
hopefully
be a classic
Challenge
Cup tie.
Barry Eaton has built up a
strong squad this year and
they are playing well in the
Championship. They have
some very good individual
players that I know
personally and we will need
to be strong in everything
we do to compete.
As a club we want to gain
promotion over the next
few years though, so games
like today will show us how
far we are away from that
level. We were thoroughly
professional in the last
round against Skirlaugh,
which was pleasing. We
played some nice rugby
and scored some great
tries, with Courtney Davies
grabbing the first hat-trick
in All Golds history! Steve
Parry wasn’t far behind
though as he became the
second player to do it later
in the game.
Since that game we’ve
added Mark Bowen from
“WE WERE
THOROUGHLY
PROFESSIONAL
IN THE LAST
ROUND AGAINST
SKIRLAUGH,
WHICH WAS
PLEASING”
joined from Newport RFC.
Both will be great additions
to the squad and will go
straight into contention for
being selected. Joe Martin
is also available today
after missing the Skirlaugh
game. Other than that,
we are just without James
Walter and Rory Sharratt,
who are carrying longer
term injuries.
Enjoy the game!

The refrains of
arguably the
most famous
and celebrated
club song in
Rugby League
were first heard
in 1892, nine
years after
Hunslet had
been formed as
a club “run by
working men for
working men”.
The occasion was the return
to south Leeds of the team
following the 21-0 victory over
Leeds at Fartown, Huddersfield,
in the final of the Yorkshire
Rugby Union Cup (Tow’d Tin
Pot). Hundreds of supporters who
had been whiling away the time,
waiting for the side’s arrival, by
singing songs of the day such as
`Bicycle made for Two’, eventually
ran out of tunes.
A former sailor, who had taken part
in the siege of Sevastapol during
the Crimean War, burst into a
Russian sea-shanty, “We’ve Swept
the Seas before Boys, and So we
Shall Again”. The song was taken
up by the crowd, and by the
players, and continues to be the
club song to this day.
Three years later, in 1895, Hunslet
were founder members of the
Northern Union, losing their
opening game, at Warrington
(where they have never won), 5-4
when the `Great Split’ became
reality.
Hunslet’s decision to support
the Northern Union may have
been helped by the fact that their
ground, Parkside, had been closed
following an attack by spectators,
the previous season, on a referee
which led to 21 policemen being
called.
HEAD COACH
BARRY EATON
The Parksiders, however, quickly
became a real power. Hunslet
lost to Oldham in the 1898-99
Challenge Cup Final, before
winning their first major trophy
in the Northern Union era by
accounting for Halifax 13-3 in the
1905-06 Yorkshire Cup Final.
Two seasons later, Hunslet
became the first team to win All
Four Cups and, in early 1909, the
Athletic News reflected: “Hunslet
and Leeds have met in 29
league and cup matches; Hunslet
have won 20 game, and Leeds
seven, the other two have been
drawn. The superiority of Hunslet
which these figures convey is
unmistakable.”
Hunslet saw off the Loiners again
that March, in a Challenge Cup
tie, but the Parksiders were about
to hit hard times, surviving in
the 1920s through a supporters’
appeal which led to them
becoming known as the `Jam-Jar’
club.
The team, with a young Jack
Walkington at fullback, reached
the Yorkshire Cup Final in 1929-
30, losing to Hull KR but the
Yorkshire League was won in
1931-32, setting the agenda for
a successful decade in which
Widnes were beaten in the
1933-34 Challenge Cup Final, and
Leeds seen off 8-2 in the 1937-38
Championship Final – played
at Leeds United’s Elland Road
before a 54,000 crowd.
Hunslet remained a power during
the 1940s and 1950s, albeit losing
four Challenge Cup semi-finals,
but the Parksiders were back in
the limelight in 1958-59, reaching
the Championship Final – only
to see an early 12-4 lead turned
into a 44-22 defeat by St Helens,
whose recovery was inspired by
a great long-range try by Tom
Van Vollenhoven.
The south Leeds side won the
Yorkshire Cup, under player/
coach Fred Ward, as a Division
Two side in 1961-62, upsetting
Division One favourites Hull KR at
Headingley.
Three years later, Hunslet played
their part in the Wembley classic
against Wigan, losing 20-16
Barry Eaton joined the club
from Celtic Crusaders at
the start of the 2012 season
where he was assistant
head coach. Barry had a
glittering playing career
playing for clubs such as
Wakefield, Dewsbury, Batley
and Widnes. Barry has had
success as a coach as well
leading Keighley Cougars to
promotion in 2010, before
leaving to join Iestyn Harris
at Crusaders.
with honour, before spiralling
backwards as the then-directors
began to focus on selling
Parkside.
The club folded in 1973,
immediately re-emerging as New
Hunslet at the Leeds Greyhound
Stadium under stalwarts including
the fine second row Geoff
Gunney. A spell playing home
games at Batley was followed
by a memorable stint at Elland
Road – 13,000 turning up for
a Challenge Cup quarter-final

first round.
denied their place in the top
flight by the RFL.
The side, under coaches David
Ward and Peter Jarvis, won the
Division Two title in 1986-87,
and were a shade unlucky to
come straight back down the
following
season.
The club’s most recent
success was the League 1
Championship Final last year
which resulted in promotion to
the Championship. Hunslet met
the All Golds twice last year
with each side winning away
from home.
Moving to their present ground,
the South Leeds Stadium, in
1995, after a stint at Bramley,
Hunslet – now known as the
Hawks – earned promotion to
Super League in
1998 by beating Dewsbury
in the Northern Ford Grand
Final, only to be controversially
The club, though, despite
having lost hugely supportive
chairman Grahame Lyles,
has consolidated in recent
years under what is in effect a
supporters’ co-operative, falling
in line with the founding fathers’
aim of “a club run by working
men for working men.”

Andy Kain – half back
Andy is a 29 year old half back who joins the club on a 2 year
deal from Featherstone Rovers. He joined Featherstone from
Widnes on loan in 2007, a deal which was then made permanent
in 2008. He has scored over 100 tries for Featherstone in his
career at the club and his signing is a tremendous boost as
the club look to consolidate in the Championship following
promotion in 2014.
Kain made 26 appearances for Rovers in 2014 scoring 12 tries
and was a losing Grand Finalist as Leigh Centurions took the
spoils the same day the Hawks won promotion via Golden point
extra time. He was under contract with the Featherstone club for
2015 but both parties have agreed a release.
P10
Brad Brennan - prop forward
Brad is an aggressive prop forward who has joined the club
on a 1 year contract from Batley Bulldogs. He is a former
Warrington Wolves player who enjoyed great success
whilst on dual registration at Barrow Raiders in 2012, his
performances on dual registration earned him a permanent
move to Craven Park in 2013. He was snapped up by Batley
Bulldogs ahead of the 2014 season and had an impressive
start to his Bulldogs career before falling out of favour and
ended up on loan at York City Knights.
Danny Maun - Centre
Danny has joined the club from Batley Bulldogs on a 1 year
contract. He is a 32 year old centre who played in the 2013
Championship Grand Final defeat to Sheffield Eagles and
leaves the Bulldogs having started his career at Wigan; he
has had 2 spells at Mount Pleasant having also appeared
for both the Dewsbury Rams and Featherstone Rovers.
He is a powerful three-quarter with excellent defensive
capabilities with a knack for being in the right place at
the right time to finish off moves. He is a major signing
for the Hawks who beat off competition from several
Championship clubs for his signature.
Lee Brickwood - Wing
Lee is a 22 year old winger who has signed a 12 month
contract extension for 2014. He joined the club on a 1 year
contract from Wakefield Trinity Wildcats. He was a regular
performer for the Wildcats senior academy side in 2011
and is a good finisher with an eye for the try line. His pace
and his illusiveness are strong points of his game and he
cemented a regular place in the Hawks backline in his
debut season in 2012 making 25 appearances scoring 5
tries.
In 2013 he made 21 appearances scoring 3 tries and his
utility value made him a key figure featuring in the back
row as well as centre and wing.

A PARTNERSHIP
FORGED
THROUGH THE
AGES
WRITTEN BY PHIL HODGSON OF LEAGUE EXPRESS
Less than two
months before
the New Zealand
All Golds beat
the Northern
Union, here in
Cheltenham, on
15 February 1908
(thereby winning
the first-ever Test
Series 2-1) the
tourists had played
arguably their
toughest game of
the trip.
That match, on Boxing
Day, had been at Parkside,
the home of south Leeds
P16
outfit Hunslet, who that
season were to become the
first of only three teams
(Huddersfield, in 1914-15,
and Swinton, in 1927-28
are the others), to pull off
the astonishing `All Four
Cups’ feat of winning the
Championship and the
Challenge Cup, together
with either the Lancashire
or Yorkshire League and
County Cup.
Two men – winger Billy
Batten and second row
Harry Wilson – played in
the games at Parkside and
Cheltenham, experiencing
an 8-5 defeat in the
international and an 11-11
draw with Hunslet, of
whom the Leeds Mercury’s
Flaneur observed at
the close of the historic
campaign: “I would pit
Hunslet against the rest
of the Northern Union at
Parkside, and expect them
to win.”
Batten, the “Forceful
Youth from Kinsley” - who
was later transferred to
Hull, who paid him the
astronomical sum of £14
per week - was a blockbusting runner with a
penchant for leaping over
fullbacks (a ploy copied by
his son Eric, of Bradford
Northern, prior to the tactic
being banned) while Wilson
was a key member of the
fearsome Hunslet pack
dubbed the `Terrible Six’,
behind whom halfback and
captain Albert Goldthorpe,
a master tactician and a
great exponent of the drop
goal, wreaked havoc.
together with the stillcheering crowd. The crush
was so dense in Boar Lane
“I WOULD
PIT HUNSLET
AGAINST THE
REST OF THE
NORTHERN
UNION AT
PARKSIDE AND
EXPECT THEM
TO WIN”
Hunslet’s standing was
such that they had been
given the honour of
meeting and entertaining
the All Golds to the north
of England. The Yorkshire
Post reported: “There was
a tremendous crowd in City
Square. The Hunslet Club
had driven to the railway
station in a decorated
char-a-banc, which bore
the emblem, `Hunslet
welcome the New Zealand
team’. When the players
appeared the crowd burst
into tremendous cheering,
which continued until
the men got into their
char-a-banc. Then Wright,
the New Zealand captain,
called for `three cheers
for the people of Leeds’,
which were followed by
the stirring Maori war cry
and further cheering. The
players were escorted to
the Grand Central Hotel
by the Hunslet char-abanc and Northern Union
officials in carriages,
and Briggate as to cause
a stoppage of all traffic.
Outside the hotel the team
were again prevailed upon
to give a rendition of the
Maori war cry, while as they
made their way into the
hotel they were greeted
by further cheering and
the strains of `God Save
the King’. It was a stirring
scene.”
When the teams met
again – on the pitch, this
time - Wilson denied the All
Golds victory with a late try
which Goldthorpe, who had
already kicked four goals,
was unable to convert. New
Zealand, who had led 9-0
at half-time, closed with
a try and a goal by Edgar
Wrigley and three goals
by the legendary Dally
Messenger, who was on the
opposite wing to another
immortal, Lance Todd.

the home of the
All Golds.
P18
We well and truly earned
a place in today’s match
after a strong performance
against a good amateur
Skirlaugh side. Now we face
a different type of beast in
Championship outfit, the
Hunslet Hawks.
Hunslet are proving they are
a great side and have been
picking up some fantastic
victories, but I think that we
have the potential to cause
an upset. The home crowd
will be a big advantage we
have the ability within us to
win the match.
We have made some really
good additions to the
squad and in particular

some questions that we
had identified. They were
the missing links and have
brought a great deal to the
club.
The appointment of Lee
(Greenwood) has been a
breath of fresh air this year
and the relationship and
influence that Lee and Dan
(Garbutt) have over the
squad has been outstanding.
I am enjoying training
and playing under their
leadership.
It has been an intriguing
pre-season campaign for us
and we weren’t focused on
results but more on gelling
as a team. We started with a
huge squad and initially we
progressed very well. Our
improvements were shown
by our narrow loss to Barrow
Raiders in the iPro Cup (16
– 14) at the beginning of
March.
After this match Lee made
the decision to cut the
squad and there has been
a dramatic improvement in
both the quality of training
and performance on the
field since.
And now it is crunch time,
time to take on the Hunslet
Hawks in a game that
everybody will enjoy. The
players will enjoy the step up
and it is a real test for us to
see how far off the mark we
are. #COYAG

HUNSLET
HAIL HALF
CENTURY
WIGAN V HUNSLET - 1965 CHALLENGE CUP FINAL.
SATURDAY 8TH MAY 1965. KICK OFF 3:00PM
AT WEMBLEY STADIUM, LONDON.
At the time of the
1965 Cup Final
Hunslet were big
underdogs and
not expected to
give Wigan any
problems having
finished the
season mid table.
Wigan though were also
going through a lean period
in their history. They hadn’t
won a trophy since winning
the league in 1960, although
they had just finished the
league season in 2nd place
behind St Helens. However
in the first round of the
Championship play offs they
P20
suffered an embarrassing
15-8 home defeat to
Featherstone who had
finished the season 15th (a
top 16 play off operated in
those days).
The Wigan team was full
of legends though. The
great Billy Boston’s record
of 478 tries in 488 Wigan
appearances speaks for
itself. Boston’s three quarter
partner was Eric Ashton, 14
years a Wigan player despite
being from St Helens. He
was also player-coach at
the time of this final. Other
legends in the side that day
included Phil Clarke’s dad
Colin at Hooker and big prop
Brian McTigue.
Matchday weather was
great, sunny and warm.
89,016 made the trek down
to Wembley for what would
turn out to be a classic final.
It took Wigan less than a
minute to take the lead.
Hunslet’s kick off had gone
out on the full and Laurie
Gilfedder kicked a penalty
goal from half way to make
it 2-0. Hunslet soon levelled
up with a penalty of their
own. Local Wigan lad Roy
Evans was penalised for
tackling off the ball and
Bill Langton kicked over to
make it 2-2.
Three minutes after Hunslet
had controversially had a
try chalked off for being
in touch, Wigan took the
lead. Hunslet had again
failed to find touch from a
penalty and Wigan made
them pay. Pressure down
the right from Gilfedder
and Ray Ashby sent Keith
Holden away for the score.
It was three points for a try
in those days so Wigan led
5-2. The sides exchanged
penalties again, first Hunslet
then Wigan, making it 7-4
with 30 minutes gone.
The South Leeds side
was doing well to keep
Billy Boston and Eric
Ashton quiet but the other
wing-centre partnership
of Holden and Trevor
Lake was proving more
difficult. They combined
for Wigan’s second try with
Lake finished off the move.
Gilfedder converted to give
Wigan a 12-4 lead which
they hoped to take into half
time.
passed out wide to Lake.
Lake raced away and just
evaded a desperate tackle
to score in the corner. Lake,
born in Rhodesia, had
finished off a classic cup
final try. The conversion was
missed but 20-9 up with 20
