LEIGH 31 FLEETWOOD 7

Leigh completed the double over Fleetwood in an entertaining contest at Hand Lane.
Once again, the home side were slow out of the blocks allowing a lively Fleetwood too much territory and a majority of possession.
Good defensive work with wing forward Chris Morgan always prominent kept the Leigh line intact. Ten minutes gone and Leigh switched on.
From their own half a flowing three quarter movement put Adam Dyson in space and he promptly raced over the try line, Rob Drake converted.
Rob Drake then quickly tagged on a penalty after fifteen minutes to put Leigh ten points clear.
It was now Fleetwood who were under relentless pressure with Leigh's pack gaining good ground, scrum half Dave Wood was quick to exploit a chink in Fleetwood's defence sending Ryan McInstry over for another converted try.

Half time Leigh 17 Fleetwood 0

The resumption of the second half was only three minutes gone when smart passing between Jimmy Wilkinson and Keiron Duffy put the full back over the try line, again converted by Rob Drake.
Back bounced Fleetwood with a superb try starting deep inside their own twenty two to finish up unopposed under Leigh;s post and this was easily converted.
Substitute Chris Boyle was instrumental in Leighs fourth try, putting Alex Middleton Adams in for his third try in the last two matches, the reliable Rob Drake once again converting.
Catching the eye again Ryan McInstry stood out in the backs with Leigh's engine room of David Penn and Paul Hampson putting in a good shift..
