LEIGH travelled to Penrith hoping to add another win to their tally after winning their last league encounter against Widnes but unfortunately the Cumbrians came out on top, winning 19-10.

 Penrith got the better of the early exchanges and went ahead through a penalty after eight minutes. 

The remainder of the first half was nip and tuck with both sides trying to play some rugby with Penrith holding on to their slender lead at half time.

 The second half was a lot more eventful and Leigh took the initiative when scrum half, David Wood, slotted a kick through the Penrith defence for right winger, Ollie Shepherd, to pounce on near the corner flag. 

The conversion was narrowly missed by Rob Drake.

 Penrith responded within 15 minutes when they registered another penalty, which was quickly followed by an unconverted try wide out on the left.

 Another Penrith penalty and a further unconverted try pushed it to 19-5.

 However, Leigh were rewarded for their ‘never say die’ attitude when, with two minutes to go, Sean MacDonald followed up his own kick through to ground the ball on the far right for a brilliant individual effort. 

Leigh entertain Kirkby Lonsdale at home, who are currently top of the League on 53 points.
