Thornhill to host giantkilling reunion

The Trojans produced a giantkilling to beat Workington 16-12 on March 11 2006 at Dewsbury’s Tetley’s Stadium in front of a crowd of 561 and went on to draw Super League side Catalans Dragons away in the next round.

Craig Holmes and Scott Dyson scored the Trojans tries, while full-back Holmes also landed four goals to complete the memorable win.

The 10th anniversary reunion will take place on Saturday March 12, from 7pm, in Thornhill Sports & Community Centre.
