Looking forward to this one, not sure what kind of side Rochdale will have out, but after they got tonked 58-4 at Keighley last week, they should be fired up ! Think Leigh will have Bate, Briscoe, Bullock, and some other player surnames beginning with the letter B playing !

Anybody know if Frank Blackburn is playing ?

Hamstring went at the final training session

I expected bullock to be playing Sunday

Rowley said the same on Wednesday re the Bate Bullock and Briscoe, they and Dengate are down to play somebody posted the squad on Twitter (@Leighcenturions20s I think) yesterday.

Fred, is it 7.30 or 7.45 KO tonight?

Was 7.45 now 7.30



(those at the LISA meeting will understand that reply

)

Glad I've seen that, was planning on turning up for 7.45

Charlie wont be at tonights game , as it clashes with Corrie , and with Hayley not being well , I feel obligated to put her first , or him

.

What a lovely evening for a match. 2 mins to kick off. Hardly a breath of wind and 6 degrees.

24 - 28 to Rochdale. Can't be long left now. Win or lose it is a fantastic result for our U20s against a very strong Rochdale side.

Full time Leigh U20s 24 - 28 Rochdale.

Sounds like a great performance from our youngsters. The futures bright

Well done Leigh.

It was a really good game. After 20 minutes Rochdales 'quick play the balls/slick handling' thought we were gonna get stuffed. Their forwards looked a lot bigger as well, obviously Craig Briscoe isn't small & Brad Ashurst is a big lad.
But we dug in, and after 60 minutes looked like we would get a win.
Bullock, Bate and our stand off (no. 18 an Australian) stood out for me....and it was nice to see young Elliot Liku playing for us, only played about 20 minutes, but considering how small he is (but wide) he took some stopping.
I said to one of the Rochdale players after the game that "you were lucky tonight" before he punched me, I said quickly "only joking", the guy then replied, "you're right, we were". Apparently they replaced just three 1st teamer's from their last game (v Keighley) with trialist's so all in all, a fantastic performance/result.

Well done to the lads. Sounds like they played very well.
Looking forward to seeing this one on LCTV.

Did charlie dengate play tonight and if so Which one was he. I thought the lads put I a fantastic performance but I thought it was gonna be a cricket score after about 15-20 minutes. Really brought it to them for the rest of the game though. A lot of young talent there

18 according to the report further up

Dengate was the stand-off (#1icon_cool.gif thought he did OK. Not a bad result at all and quite a few positives all round really - think I'll have to try and get to a few more of their games this year.

Good result for our lads Rochdale will have to improve but I thought we gave them a good tester as even with the squad players it was a very young team who will only get better as the season progresses, I will try and get the game up on LC TV after I get back from the photoshoot in the morning.
