I have been watching some of my Hull F.C. dvds of past greatest moments,especially against the Dobbins.There have been some cracking trys scored by both teams in past derbies and i got thinkg about my favourite trys scored against them,so here is my top 3.
1,Tom Briscoe...2008 at The KC.Must be one of the greatest trys scored against anyone.
2,Gary Kemble...1985 at Boothferry Park.Yorkshire Cup Final.I remember Rovers dropping out Kemble picking the ball up and going stright through their defence without a hand laid on him to score.I have never ever seen it been done again in the professional game.
3,Ronnie Wileman...1982 at headingley.John Player Trophy Final.Ronnie burning down the wing from half way and going past Georgie Girl to win us the trophy.I have never seen a hooker go so fast.


I am sure there are many more favourite trys against the enemy so fill your boots.

At least get the years right.

Vaikona againts the nobbins at the caravan park sealed his hat trick and the win

Which one?.If it was the Briscoe one it was a slip of the key.

That one did come to mind.

And Kembles was 1984.

Vaikona running straight over (through) full back Fletcher at Boothferry park can't remember the date but seeing Fletcher's face it was a picture

84/85 season i believe.

Why cant people get their facts right! Fletch came off the bench into the centres. Bob Everitt was full back.

Not a try but I do remember Gary Pearce kicking a penalty from the half-way line at the old Caravan Park. I remember listening to the recap on Dumberside on the drive home. I thought the Doyle's head was going to explode "Oooooooaaaahhh from fifty yards!!"

you need to calm down

Agree with them kembles in the yorkshire cup fin,steve evans interception was good anorl though my fav has to be tv giving it the fist in the air 20 meters out before ploughing over whoever it was fletcher kenny everitt who cares!

It was indeed but the game you mentioned was played in 1984. There was a John Player final later on in the season at the same venue.

you are statto and i claim my £5

All tries against the Dobbins are great in my eyes !!

The Tom Briscoe try WAS 2008

James Grant in the Easter 1994 derby at The Boulevard.

Sweeping movement from a scrum roughly on half way. Grant took the ball about 40 years out and arced past the rovers defence.

It also sent rovers down.

Why was the Tom Briscoe try so good? Any winger worth his salt would have scored that surely? The one Raynor got at CP WOULD have been the best one i've seen, Vaikonas is also etched in the memory.

Not as good as Fletchers face when he leapt and scored the final minute winning try

Great try to be fair, arrogant git celebrating as he's racing down the touchline though

That was amazing, was in North Stand, what a day.

Ronnie Wilemans in 82, best by a long mile and the furthest he ever ran too

It was his second try where he was arm aloft, not his hat trick try

Lad, bearly out of school, first derby, picked the ball up off his toes, beat four rovers players with pace and smart footwork.

loved the tom briscoe try, sat in the east stand watching him set off with 5 dobbins trying to catch him... amazing try.
also any try yeamo scores, he loves scoring against them, hopefully get a few more on the winning team next season... fingers crossed.
