| A sincere thank you to Derek Beaumont - you turned the dream into reality. It has not only been the financial input but equally importantly your enthusiasm, management style and the key people you have appointed.
There can't have been a better place in rugby league to enjoy the game since Derek picked up the tab for the players unpaid wages several years back - it seems a long time ago now but what a fantastic journey it has been. A season ticket at the LSV is, without any doubt, the best value for money on offer anywhere, for any sport.
Yesterday was another super human effort from the players. There must have been some busted bodies after the feat at Hull KR, just last week. The last 20 minutes yesterday must have been very tough indeed - everyone was surely running on empty. I reckon most of the fans were simiarly exhausted by the time the final hooter sounded.
It is very hard to single anyone out but Riddy reigned supreme throughout - a performance out of the very top drawer in all aspects of his game.
A massive thank you is also due to the coaching staff, so well led by Neil Jukes. The way we exploited their right fringe early on was brilliant. The tactic to hit Huddersfield with everything early doors and then hang in there, worked to perfection.
On behalf of all Leigh fans - many thanks to everyone connected with the club for a fanatastic day yesterday to cap the wonderful journey that we have been experiencing for several years now.

| Done some checking back Charlie & all the stats suggest that I am wrong ....
Danny Halliwel did score a hat trick in Super League X at [iThe Colliseum[/i *remember that name* against Saints in a narrow defeat.
No hat tricks in the game v Wigan but we scored the 1st 3 tries (1 from Phil Jones) before going down to another narrow defeat before a crowd of just over 7,500.
IIRC we had to play Leeds 3 times in Super League X, never stood a cat in Hell's chance that year.
Bradford romped it home with big Leslie Vainikolo.

Trouble was, charlie, by the time we had won the GF, there was no talent left. We had better players lined up (whose names totally escape me) but we were outbid by London, for 3-4 of them. I remember that we had loads of SL shirts left at the end of that season. many of them were 7XL (yes, 7!!) I believe they had been purchased with Mr McCurrie in mind!

| Wasn't the Phil Jones hat trick against Wakefield in one of our 2 wins?
My memory of the Wigan game at Hilton Park was we started well then it went downhill when Rowley went off.

Luke Dorn was one that we missed out on. London came in with a last minute offer to gazump us.

It was, the third try can be seen here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nNR19eOLXbI
Seem to remember Phil Jones kicking a few goals that day too.
He returned to rugby union the following year, Sedgely Park I think.
