Summary:l
Two weeks after Wigan had beaten Leigh in the Lancashire
Cup Final. the sides met again at Leigh. Rain left many grounds water-logged
on this day but the match went ahead at Mather Lane. Wigan struggled to
adapt to the conditions first half and were lucky to go in at half time with
no score against them. Second Half they improved and found a try from Joe
Topping that was converted by Jim Leytham for a 5-0 lead. That score held
until the end with Leigh losing their Full Back Clarkson to injury.
