Thanks for the Memories...

Today saw the last Leigh Centurions (originally named Leigh Rugby League Club) home league game at Hilton Park against Whitehaven. The ground has been the club's home for the past 61 years and will move to Leigh Sports Village for the Co-operative National League One 2009 season.

Whilst watching the game my brother (a life long Leigh supporter) and myself (a Leigh and St Helens supporter) reminised. He remembered his first experience as a Leigh spectator at Hilton Park with my father in 1961; I couldn't recall what year I first went to watch Leigh RLFC at home, but do recall when Leigh reached the Challenge Cup final in 1971 and defeated Leeds 24-7 at Wembley - I think every person in Leigh travelled to watch that historic game. Following that we have followed Leigh through their success, failure and hardship, and we say, as many have done this past week or so...
"Thanks For the Great Memories at Hilton Park!...We're looking forward to supporting you at the new ground in 2009."











FINAL SCORE: Leigh 32 - Whitehaven 8

Attendance: 3,522

Déjà vu as Saints beat Wire in the dying seconds...

Saints edged a win in last 10 seconds in tonight's thriller against Warrington Wolves...In terrible weather conditions and on a waterlogged pitch St Helens showed why they are top of the league. Saints looked to have lost the game to Warrington who would have had their first win at Knowsley Road's GPW Stadium in 14 years, but Sean Long's drop goal sealed the deal and ensured a Saints win.
This was indeed a classic game and for me the best of the season so far. Final score Saints 17 Warrington 16. For full match report click here.

Saints
Tries: Cunningham, Gardner, Gilmour
Goals: Long (2)
Drop Goal: Long

Warrington
Tries: King, Riley (2)
Goals: Hicks (2)
