Leigh East 6 Leigh Miners 44 tonight at Ledgard Ave in front of about 3-400 spectators

A depleted Easts struggled against an up for it Miners team that showed some quality tonight

North London Stags 32 - 24 Featherstone Lions

No game for us this weekend or next. The RFL have stopped the GB boys playing, and along with injuries we are unable to field a side.


Leigh Miners are setting the standards in this league but excellent results for both North London and Gateshead who seem to be hitting a bit of form.

Didn't you have 120 attend trials?
So lets do some maths. 7/8 of the boys are with GB and a few injured thats still about 90 odd boys to pick from.

Doesn't sound like East Leeds are too impressed with the call off. They reckon they've lost £1000s in lost hotel bookings.

Siddal could only raise 14 players last week but they still travelled all the way down to fulfil the fixture.

There was 105 lads in the trials but obviously the club did not sign them all.
We want to play as much as much as any team in this league the lads were gutted there was no game this weekend. We played against Featherstone and Ince with 14 lads but with 7/8 in the GB squad, 2 out with long term injuries (broken jaw and shoulder injury) and 2 out with a virus there was no way we could field a team.

I know its early days but due to the weather can anybody up north let me know if any of the games for this weekend are cancelled.

Any news on games being postponed?

None as yet, bright but cloudy today no wind and no snow.

Thanks for the info.

INCE ROSE BRIDGE 4 V 34 LEIGH MINERS

miners won again scoring 7 tries to rose bridge 1 in a cold scrappy friday night game.

some of the foul and abusive language aimed at the referee from a small section of the rose bridge crowd was disgusting.
