Quote: PlayTheBall "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.'"
Can I suggest you re post this on its own thread play the Ball , then we can all offer our thanks to Dereck
