If my arithmetic is correct, Chris Thorman this afternoon broke 'Tich' West's points in a game record by scoring 4 tries and kicking 19 goals for York against Northumbria University in the Challenge Cup. York won 132-0.

The old record was

53 (11t, 10g) by George West (Hull Kingston Rovers) v Brookland Rovers (NU Challenge Cup) - 4 March 1905

Well done that man!

would have been 3 points for a try in 1905 would it not

Yes it would. In "today's money" West would have scored 64 points.

Which begs the question ? , what the he'll were N U doing in this round of the CC ?

Unless the challenge cup format has changed radically, they won a game in the last round

They won in Round 2, simples.

they beat university of central lancashire 12-20 and then beat loughborough university 18-25

Well hopefully whoever wins the ' University Challenge ' next year has to play a decent amateur team before being thrown in against the semi pros

Except they have only been playing other uni' s , maybe an extra match against a proper open age team would be better next time , maybe they could play Leigh East Ladies next time to make sure they're up to the 3 rd round

Loughborough beat Kippax to get into the Second round where Northumbria beat them

You can now explain why Kippax shouldn't have been in the draw and we can keep going
