Leigh played St Helens in midweek game in the early 1990s and beat them. That year Wigan won the league on points difference. I think it was Steve Simms first game in charge.

There are some films on the micron video and I am trying to get hold of the DVD so that I can put it on at work, cos I work in St Helens !

Thanks

sorry cant tell you the date but i was at the game.

again terrible downpour and i remember tim street having big game.

it was simms first game in charge

I have that as well

What a wet,wild & wonderful night that was.I think we were bottom,possibly with no points,and they were top unbeaten.Leigh played the conditions to perfection whereas St's got their tactics all wrong.

Incorrect it wasn't Simms first game in charge. Simms was there but it was Dennis Ramsdales win. Stu Pugsleys little kick over the line won it!

correct as Simms 'quipped' 'Why have you brought me over if you play like that' after the game.

I missedthat game due to work, but its a cracker on tape/dvd, if I had it that is

I don't forget many games !

The sad thing about that season was that we ended up in mid table but as usual we lost the best players due to financial problems in the close season and then it was downhill from there! If only Mr Higgins had let the LGH boss Bill Parkinson take over when he wanted too it could of been a whole different story

always happy to help!

simms built a big reputation with the job he did at leigh.

went on to coach halifax when they were a major force but if i remember it did not work out for him at fax

reilly left to coach newcastle knights

Was it the season after we did the same by beating Bratfud @ Odsal giving the pies the league again

yes it was because we beat Saints in both seasons at home IIRC

I was on leave & went to Odsal it was freezing. Meadows scored a pearling try & Bratfud were down to 12 men because their FB got sent off for a cheap shot in the corner IIRC

The second Saints victory contained a couple of cracking tries - one from on-loan centre Steve Warburton where he swerved in and out of about 3 tackles in a 30 metre burst to the line and another by Scott Martin where he dribbled the ball 50 metres and won the race to touch down.

Leigh won 21-4 that day.

Derek Disley was a man on form with his commentary and made the Saints Ron Hoof sound like an amateur by comparison.

1992 we won it for wiggin by beating saints 1993 we won it for saints by beating bradford

Nah W1g@n won it again in 93

correct my mistake just checked my apologies

wigan won it 7 years on trot from 89/90...i think

Accepted mate

I would think us beating Bradford that year won it for Wigan as Wigan won it on points difference to Warington and Northern.

I have that game as well

I was in Japan... me dad faxed me the result! Leythers get everywhere....

....and took Rowls and Sid with him

just watched the game v Waky in 93, Rowls, Troy Clarke and Hanger on debut.

That wasn't away when Gunner scored a couple or even three? was it?
