Playing career edit

Hemingway made his début for Featherstone Rovers on Saturday 10 November 1934,[2] and made his début for Wakefield Trinity during January 1942, he appears to have scored no drop-goals (or field-goals as they are currently known in Australasia), but prior to the 1974–75 season all goals, whether; conversions, penalties, or drop-goals, scored 2-points, consequently prior to this date drop-goals were often not explicitly documented, therefore '0' drop-goals may indicate drop-goals not recorded, rather than no drop-goals scored. In addition, prior to the 1949–50 season, the archaic field-goal was also still a valid means of scoring points.

County Cup Final appearances edit

Hemingway played left-prop, i.e. number 8, in Featherstone Rovers' 12-9 victory over Wakefield Trinity in the 1939–40 Yorkshire County Cup Final during the 1939–40 season at Odsal Stadium, Bradford on Saturday 22 June 1940.

Testimonial match edit

Hemingway's benefit season at Featherstone Rovers took place during the 1949–50 season.[citation needed]
