Thanks Andy it certainly means a lot to us when our local professional club is right behind us. We have watched with interest lately at all the great work you are putting in over there and this is something that has inspired us. As Keith says we still have a long way to go yet at East but we are making great strides and the feel good factor is certainly back. It's great for the town that these relationships are being built between our professional and amateur clubs. Here's to a great season for all the Leigh clubs both amateur and pro, hope to see some of you at our launch night!!

Allan Coleman asked Leigh East for a friendly this pre season but East said they had already organized three tough friendlies against Askam,Shevington Sharks and Rylands so maybe next year! All at the Miners would love the street of origin to return!

Miners did ask us but we had the Askam game planned some time ago and played last week. Yesterday the 1st team were due to play Woolston and 2nd team Shevington. Woolston cancelled so just Shevington game went ahead. Next week 1st team play Eccles and 2nd team play Rylands.

Hope this clarifies a little better on Easts preseason fixtures in relation to post above.

Sure in the coming seasons we would welcome games of this type.

Get the ladies sides involved as well,overall winners club who win most games from 1st 2nds u18s & ladies, if its tide at 2-2 go off an aggregate score for all four matches, play these games over a weekend in February before seasons start, 1 year at miners next at east

Sounds like a top idea to me!
