Background

Ted Bateson was born in Settle, West Riding of Yorkshire, and his death was registered in Lewes, Sussex.

Playing career

County Cup Final appearances

Ted Bateson played right wing, i.e. number 2, in Wakefield Trinity's 3–10 defeat by Huddersfield in the 1926 Yorkshire County Cup Final during the 1926–27 season at Headingley Rugby Stadium, Leeds on Wednesday 1 December 1926, the original match on Saturday 27 November 1926 was postponed due to fog.

Club career

Ted Bateson made his début for Wakefield Trinity in the 8–3 victory over Batley on Saturday 19 December 1925, 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.

Club records

Ted Bateson extended the 'most tries in a season' record for Wakefield Trinity with 26-tries scored in the 1928–29 season, and 27-tries scored in the 1929–30 season, this record was extended by Freddie Smart to 29-tries in the 1931–32 season. Ted Bateson is twelfth on Wakefield Trinity's all time try scoring list.

gollark: That reads vaguely like an actual SCP entry, but incoherent and without the normal overly precise numbers and more "probably"/"roughly".
