Final score: Saints 28 Leigh Centurions 6

Our live feed has now finished.

  • SAINTS have beaten Leigh 28-8 in a keenly fought if not classic tussle.
  • Although there were bright flashes in what was a patient performance from Saints, they could never really shake off the dogged Centurions.
  • The visitors scored first when prop Jamie Acton bashed his way over on nine minutes.
  • They would not cross again with Saints' goal line defence tested but coming up with the goods,
  • With the ball there as still plenty in Saints' attack to iron out, but they worked their tries well.
  • Mark Percival levelled when he threaded his way through from a Zeb Taia pass.
  • Then a bewildering passage of play saw Theo Fages polish it off to put Saints ahead at the break.
  • Ryan Morgan's try 11 minutes after the break gave them a cushion but they could never really shake the visitors off.
  • But a Regan Grace try 15 minutes from time put the game to bed with big Alex Walmsley adding the final one by crashing under the sticks.
  • The game ended with a brief flare up which saw Adam Walker yellow carded.
