I'm working that day, although, I can feel a little bit of migraine coming on that weekend already.

I too thought Beswick was outstanding. Did 80 minutes if I'm not mistaken. Led the line speed all night and was intense throughout.

Kicking game won the game in the first half, it turned Batley round almost every set. I thought Batley let themselves open on Gardner/Pownall's side thoughout the game but Ridyard/Brierley/McNally didn't have a go at it.

Would love to see the stats on territory, possession and tackling. Absolute mountain of work carried out.

I notice the final is on a Saturday afternoon this year !
Should be one heck of a day out and whilst its a pity its Halifax rather than Blackpool it should still be a occasion for the supporters.

A early chance for the BOD / BOM to show they can market our club and sell it to the towns around Leigh and the local communities by ensuring we take the biggest amount of fans to the NRC than any of the other Championship Cup finals we've played in.

Looking forward to it.

'We want our Trophy back'

5pm kick off apparently, with the 'Bowl' final at 2.30, though I've no idea on the participants in that one.

Already seen a few have booked hotels in Halifax(!) for the Friday night. An ale trail on the train for me I reckon.

North Wales Crusaders v London Skolars in the bowl final.

I`ve just watched the game again and having berated Leahy during the game( it was a cup semi afterall) I apologise to him. He had a good and fair game IMO.

Cheers. Crusaders might take a few then, though we might just watch that one in the pub!

Tonight was about the players and the fans simple.

Not that I dont believe you, but do you have a link to something which says its a 5pm KO, should be able to leave work an hour or two early if its 5pm.

Well, i'm with the others.....
You spout some garbage, and getting offensive is not big or clever!

I will be sure to have a running score going on here for you mate

I wasn't the one who started getting offensive. I responded to a post. Oh and I can post my opinions on here can't I? I don't really care what any of you think of me my first post was an observation and that wasn't offensive, was it. School playground gangs spring to mind.

Just making sure we don't get stuck in traffic and miss kick off

Booked Premier Inn at £29 a room last night (5 rooms), just looked this morning and prices are now £48

Full respect to you Andy.
It's the attitude and drive of you and the rest of the BOM that got me there for the first time this season last night - breath of fresh air and prepared to listen.
Won't be there every game, but have defo got the bug back again.

Well done to one and all

You boy are beyond belief, in a celebratory thread titled, "We're All Going To Halifax" you can't resist having one of your habitual digs at the ref basically because of one mistake. What sort of life do you lead where mistakes shouldn't happen? Should there be no forward passes, dropped catches, knock ons, missed kicks; not forgetting referee errors.

Sad.

Nice post CoID


I wondered about your post re our slow back line on another thread but this gives me the answer. May you be one of many that return.

A great time was had by all ,Martin Ridyard's kicking was inch perfect all evening ,and the little dab for Matts try was incredible , each and every one of them should be proud proud Men ,they were fantastic

Nutter. Quite literally.

Charlie is so happy and proud of the 17 Leythers who played last night , they did Leigh proud , for me Brierley was MOM , it shows how much we have missed him , but the Toms ,Spencer and Goulden where massive ,Spencers drives and Gouldens tackling



Bob Beswick had his best game for us in a while ,Riddy was Riddy has very few quiet games , his kicking so valuable ,Penky looked hungry a good all round performance .

The bullfrogs had Speed , and their pack was huge , but I think we tamed them , Spencer eye to eye with Hirst was priceless



I honestly think if we attacked the line more often as Brierley did we would have put 40 on them .

I feel ROBBED of a week-end in the Promised Land

a night in FAX



with Littlerich ,or Halifaxjohn ,cant compare , still it will be good to see the fans ive not seen since Blackpool 2011

.

Personally, I'd rather have a weekend in Halifax, than Blackpool!

Shame on you Alan

remember I praise your Programmes

.

Reffy it took me three and half hours to get to that game last night from just the other side of Leeds. I had posted very positive things about the game and don't think what I originally posted was that controversial. But your little gang took it so. I don't really care what you think and if something as small as what I originally said offends you so much I would give up reffing. I'm bored now and covered in mud at work. Bye.
