This culminated in a special day in May 1980

Derby days featuring Hull FC and Hull Kingston Rovers have existed since 1899 and in the ensuing 100 years the two factions have had a natural divide because they have been based on either side of the River Hull. This is the story of the matches.

Hull colonised the west and Rovers settled in the east and the clubs’ close encounters have generated their own characters and controversies, dramas and dreams.

This culminated in a special day in May 1980 when the two sides met each other in the Rugby League Challenge Cup Final at Wembley.

But Hull’s professional rugby league derbies have not only thrown up their own magic moments and marvellous memories, they have also taken place in a variety of competitions, settings and guises.

This is a paperback reproduction of the long out of print book from 1999.

Lightweight and practical for carrying just the essentials
Size: One Size Fits Most, Color: (001) Black / / White
This waist bag is super practical and lightweight, perfect for days when I don’t want to carry a full purse. The fabric feels sturdy and the zipper works smoothly, nothing cheap or flimsy. It actually fits more than it looks phone, keys, lip balm, small wallet all organized without feeling bulky. The strap adjusts well and stays in place, and it’s comfortable to wear crossbody or around the waist. It’s definitely more for essentials than for carrying a lot, but for quick errands, walks, gym or travel it’s perfect. Clean design, good quality, and easy to match with any outfit.

Great Bag
Size: One Size Fits Most, Color: (025) Castlerock / Black / Black
Plenty of space even for my book on the plane. No more need for a personal item. I will say that I made the mistake of hanging my hands on the belt bag and tweaked the muscles in my neck from that. Great durable back though. I paid around $20-25
