Great tension, with lots of errors as Starbug said from both teams. Both defences at times were awesome.

No doubt that the best team on the day won, so congratulations to Leigh Easts.

Well done Easts !!!



A few of my family were there yesterday and fully enjoyed the day out , combined with the right result ofcourse

ahem.."reserves"



does anyone know if it was videoed?

Fred has posted the name and contact details of the bloke who did the match on the Easts siite

well done east from a miners player, best team won on the day, i am gutted!! great advert fro the town of leigh however.

well done east!!!!! one of the most satisfing games ive ever watched!!!!!

THERES ONLY ONE DANNY WEAVING! THERES ONLY ONE DANNY WEAVING!

they didnt let him go he asked to be released from his contract so he could go on the u18s gb tour

I know where there is a few photos online from the game....



(See Sig)

turns out the minors have blotted their copybook

last night a few of the east lads called in at the minors club to shake hands, share a drink etc but one of the players didnt like it, soft lads had to get his dad to fight his battles the and the afore mentioned dad head butted one of the east lads (one of the smaller ones though)



a coward who has brough shame on his club

We've been requested to do a feature in the Leigh programme, on this match. (it might have to be the Halifax programme, as we are struggling for space in the Widnes one) However, I've only been given a photo of the East team, and I want to give a balanced view, by including one of the Leigh MR side. I know East won, but to have TWO Leigh teams in the final, is a marvellous feat - and it would only be right to include photos of both of them.

So, has anyone got a photo of the Miners' lads, to publish?

none of these are mine so you might have to ask permission

Thanks. The one I was after was a team photo, which is on the 'kt8' site. Infuriatingly, they are only interested in selling and' as you might imagine, my programme budget is ZERO!

there was a photo of the miners in the programme, who took that one? have you contacted the miners secretary?

Not yet, Wayne, but I have contacted the guy from the 'kt8' website. It turns out he offered me photos of the Widnes players, which I didn't need, (who wants to see those ugly lot in our programme?!

) and I'm waiting for him to come back to me. Thought you would have taken some of the Miners?!

Thanks,

Alan.

no, im on a retainer for Leigh East

Yeh, i got your PM, I shall send it later



Just so you know the cost of lenses and cameras are ... "Infuriatingly high and as you might imagine, my photography budget is ZERO!

Thanks

mine cost a lot too but i let him have a photo for nothing

And so am I



It was the bit where I infuriate him was the point I was making. I also offered Widnes images FOC for Leigh programme. Thanks though

i missed that bit

sorry

Just to let you all know that 'asterix' has emailed me a photo of the Miners' team. What's more, it's a cracker! East may have won the game, Wayne, but.......

Mr Chairman , I was just wondering if anybody had ever suggested a ' boat race ' between our 2 local clubs

The 4 bridges challenge Butts,Mather lane,Leigh and then the finishing line under the by pass bridge that separates our two great clubs

Followed by a BBq held at alternate venues every year

Could be held in summer as a pre curser to the season

Only players eligable that have played at least 10 matches from the previous year and no players to take part more than once

What do you think keith ?

Sounds like a good idea Starbug have you got any boats

I'v got some life jackets
