📋 MATCH REPORT 📋

On Sunday we welcomes Pilkington Recs down to Leigh East.

The visitors struck first, crossing for the opening try of the game to take an early lead. The Lions responded brilliantly, showing great character and determination to wrestle back control of the match. Hayden got Leigh East on the scoreboard with a well-worked try before Lukas got a scoot on the line to give the Lions the advantage heading into the break.

The second half was a closely contested affair, with both sides battling hard for every metre. Leigh East's defence remained solid throughout, and Ollie eventually added the decisive score to extend the lead and put the game beyond the visitors.

Well done to all of the lads on the win which now brings them top of the table.

📋 MATCH REPORT 📋

The Lions started brightly and matched their opponents throughout a competitive first half, with both teams showing plenty of determination in attack and defence. Scores from Hayden and Conor helped keep the Lions firmly in the contest, and the sides headed into half-time level at 10-10.

After the restart, Leigh East raised their intensity and began to take control of the game. Strong carries through the middle laid the platform for some impressive attacking rugby, while the defence stood firm when called upon. Ollie crossed for his second try of the afternoon, with Luca also getting on the scoresheet as the Lions pulled away in the second half.

The team showed great resilience, teamwork and commitment throughout and were the deserved winners on the day.

📋 MATCH REPORT 📋

Last Sunday the Leigh East Lions produced a determined performance to secure a hard-earned victory over Halton Farnworth in the BARLA Cup.

In a closely contested encounter, the Lions showed great resilience in defence, keeping their opponents scoreless throughout the game while taking their opportunities when they came.The first try came through Ollie, who crossed the line after sustained pressure from the Lions attack. Alfie added the second try with a checky grubber chase and a strong finish to give Leigh East further control of the contest.

The victory was built on a disciplined defensive display and excellent teamwork across the field, with every player contributing to an impressive cup performance. Well done Lions
