30 - 16 at home to Skirlaugh after the Miners were down to 12 men in the second half, a good gutsy performance from the Miners highlights to follow probably Sunday now.

Was it for a trip ?
Skirlaugh seemed to run out of steam last 30 minutes and their fullback could play a bit.

Miners next last try was fortunate but the last one was impressive.

Miners hitting a good run of form , should hopefully be a good season , well done

Well done on the win Miners.

Leigh Miners 30 v 16 Skirlaugh

Leigh Miners made it three wins on the bounce after coming from 16-12 down with twelve men to finish strongly in the final quarter to win 30-16 against a tough Skirlaugh outfit. Miners started the stronger of the two teams and took the lead early in the game when winger Linford Weatherby scored a good individual try, Tom Bradbury converting to put the home side 6-0 in front and that lead was increased further with Bradbury adding a penalty goal from under the sticks to give an 8-0 scoreline. Skirlaugh come back strongly and had plenty of good field position for the rest of the half and were rewarded with a try from a scrum out wide, the kick converted off the touchline to put them within two points of Miners at 8-6. The home side grabbed there second try with a few minutes remaining stand off Martin Lewis going through a gap to score out on the left, giving Miners a 12-6 advantage going into the half time break.

The second half was all Skirlaugh in the opening ten minutes as they scored two tries, the first was from there stand off as he stepped through the Miners defence to score to tie the game up at 12-12, and soon after they took the lead after picking up a loose ball on the half way to score in the corner, Miners Darryl Kay sent off following the try as the visitors took the lead at 16-12. After being reduced to twelve men Miners had to dig deep and they did just that, John Woods got Miners back level scoring under the sticks, Bradbury converting to put them 18-16 in front and that was followed by a Bradbury try in the left corner to give the score 22-16 as the home side finished strongly in the final quarter. Bradbury added his second penalty goal to give Miners a eight point lead and MOM Scott O’Brien finished the game off with a try under the sticks after chipping over the Skirlaugh defence to dive over to score, Bradbury converting to give Miners a hard earned 30-16 victory.

Miners 2nd team won 18-16 away at Albert Park

Top try that last one.

How did East go on, cant see their result on here this time. and it usually is.

East lost away to Wath Brow 25 - 22 on a day of some really surprising results in the Nat Conf, for all of you who want a fix of rugby on a saturday we have two of the best Nat Conf teams in East's and Miners and its very good value for a couple of quid, support your local amateur teams they deserve it.

The Leigh East forum I had on didnt have it on as I looked, and I knew the new one was being done, which will be fab.
Shame East lost, however both Leigh teams are in a good position in the league. That is good for the game.

Please post a regular link on here please Easts.
