Leigh Miners make the short trip across the canal tomorrow evening when they play Leigh east in there final league game of the season. With miners losing there last five matches they know they will have to improve if they want to take the local bragging rights against an inform east side who only need one more point to clinch the minor premiership. Kick off 7-30pm at LSV.

Great match in prospect - get down to East for your RL fix this week - even if you are lucky enough to be going to France

Only question is - Who are you going to support??

Just to inform you Srum Down Under will be down selling all the new range for East and Miners team wear

Come on Miners !

C'MON EASTS , BEAT THE OWD ENEMY AND CLAIM THAT LEAGUE TITLE

Whoops think I shouted that bit

am I reading right on Twitter...12 - 4 at HT..the Miners come back and take the game at 18 - 22

Easts just can't seem to beat the Miners in recent years.

Miners were bloody awesome and dented the Red and Blacks title hopes.
This must rank as one of the DARK SIDES finest hours coming back from 18-4 down to completly dominate the final quarter playing open attractive rugby.
East much larger pack visibly wilted under the tremendous powerful tackling of the much smaller Miners pack.
Winston will be a proud coach tonight and rightly so still undefeated agianst Leigh East in the top flight.

COME ON THE MIGHTY MINERS

....and still it goes on!!!

East 18 Miners 22.

No doubt East will get their league leaders title but they'll never have the town bragging rights!!!!

Well done lads.

Well done to the Miners!

Another game of two halves as the saying goes, East were comfortably in control in the first half and seemingly heading for the title winning victory. After the break Miners upped their game to dominate the half and took the spoils in the final minute.
Miners probably deserved their victory but were helped in their quest by a couple of crap decisions from the officials. The ref was poor throughout the game but it seemed impossible for him to miss the knock on before the deciding try, the young TJ had a good view but bottled it. Add to this a marginal forward pass for another Miners try and a dubious double movement for an East disallowed one. This only my opinion of course, I will give my final decisions after the TV replays .

I hope when you do watch the game again take your blinkers off and pay particular attention to the first 20 mins and the penalty account against the Miners.
Dont try and make excuses for the East defeat they were beat by a better more committed side on the night and to say otherwise without giving full credit to the Miners is disrespectful and shows a distinct lack of knowledge of the game of rugby league.

I'm guessing from your user ID that you are a fellow referee. Do you not think you should be encouraging your fellow officials instead of calling them "crap" and saying they "bottled it". It's hard enough keeping young officials in the game because of abuse from spectators and players. They don't need it from so called colleagues
