My last visit to watch league was at Widnes back in 1984 or 1985. Had to brush up on Wiki as to how the points scoring worked before I went. And thankfully a guy sitting near me in the stand took pity on me and explained some of the more esoteric rules such as the "40-20" .....
It was a NCL Division 3 game between the Coventry Bears and Woolston Rovers (from Warrington), played at the home of Coventry RUFC, the Butts Arena, which is a 12 minute stroll from the railway station. The home side won it relatively easily once they'd got their noses in front, the final score was 28-8 and I enjoyed it, although there was a lot of poor handling and fumbled catches - but that was down to the playing conditions, a rain-soaked pitch and a greasy ball. May be taking in a few more matches this summer .....
