Celebrating the build up to the only true City Derby in the Rugby League, what has been your favourite Derby match?



I've seen a few and enjoyed some more than others.



My personal favourite match was the 1984 Yorkshire Cup Final at a packed Boothferry Park. Rovers leading in the first half, but Peter Sterling

shaking off jet lag to help Hull with Kemble, Norton & Co, to dominate the second half for a great win.

My first derby match was my first RL match, with the inlaws and the Mrs. Remember it being pretty intimidating in Threepenny's and there being a 24 man brawl, with Sterling running up the wing with centre in support while everyone else knocked lumps out of each other. 1993/1994 I think. No idea who won (fight or game)

That was a great game. Rovers had a drop out that Kemble took and then proceeded to run through their defence to score a great solo effort. Pete Sterling had a great game as well.

I always recall the 79 Floodlit trophy final. great occassion for a 9 year old. first final i ever went to and we won.

Wembley 80 was special despite everything on the pitch. my first trip to London and Wembley. the build up was amazing shame we lost. but my all time fav is the one at CP when Casey had a brain fart after the tough guy Fred Ah Koui rattled him. Big win sunny day and very enjoyable.

Deffo . the "Cast iron" casey v fred "the TASH" ahkoui . game at old crap park . got it on video and the t.v. guy interviews all the r/w retards before the game saying "how good they are " "better than HULL any day " Well not that day !!!! Toppo tore them to bits down the middle !!!

One of my favourites as well that one. It is on the FC TV classic games and Rovers came out all guns blazing into a 12-0 lead before we came back in the 2nd half to win it 29-12.

I liked the one in the season where we played our home derby at Boothferry Park and Rovers won so invaded the pitch so on the return leg at new caravan park we won and did the same with that big buster blood vessel bloke stood on the pitch infront of the east stand chastising the rovers fans with us all (few thousand) behind him





Back then the East stand held both sets of fans with us taking up two thirds of it

Only been watching since SL, so I'd say the 2010 home derby where there was a big brawl. I missed the 2008 one as I was on holiday! (gutted!)

Probably mine too, cracking game.



Also the Boothferry park game with Kemble's two tries was memorable.

With you on this one RR was stood in Kempton for it brilliant game for and FC fan.

That Craven park game was fantastic. Seem to remember being behind by a couple of scores first half and Steve Evans going the length of the pitch towards the end to top off a comfortable win. Didn't it also delay their title winning celebrations by one week as well?



The 1984 29-12 Yorkshire cup win was also great just like any other game with Sterling playing.

Can only remember the SL derby's, and out of those i'd say the 2010 one at the KC has been the best.



it had the massive brawl, and Tom Briscoe's last ditch tackle.

my 2 favourites were

1. my first - 13 - 3 win at the boulevard in the floodlight cup with rovers heavy favourites

2. the win at craven park when dirty git casey got sorted out by fred ah kuoi and then sent off and pushed the touch judge

wasn't it the yorkshire cup final at boothferry when evans went the length in the last few minutes?
