The West Riding club took the spoils by 8-2. Both Halifax and Salford resigned from their constituent county leagues to take part in an amalgamated Northern Rugby League for the 1901-02 season. It was one of the first appearances of the legendary Jimmy Lomas's in a Salford jersey after his transfer from Bramley. The £100 fee was a landmark record transfer. Some of the laws of the Northern Union game differ from those we recognize in Rugby League today. For example, in this game, there would have been a scrum formed after every tackle. This replaced rucks and mauls method in Rugby Union. It wasn't until 1906 that the 'play the ball' was introduced and the number of players per team was reduced from 15 to 13.
