LEIGH East are playing some of their best rugby for years and at the weekend put a 50-0 scoreline past high flying Thornhill Trojans.

East were excellent with the nil points conceded being the more pleasing aspect for boss Paul Wingfield.

This was a performance that should rock the competition to its core.

From the moment stand-off Ihaka Watene dashed away over 75 metres for the opener on five minutes to the final score four minutes from time by Curtis Littlewood, the hosts blew their opponents away.

Not content with the early 6-0 advantage, East were soon 18-0 up in 19 minutes as Pat Grainey and Chris Dootson followed the excellent Watene to the line.

With Worthington goaling from all angles, it was becoming a comfortable afternoon.

Although scoring rates slowed, Sam Grainey went through for a 34th minute try and a Worthington penalty goal made it 24-0 at half-time.

Early in the second half, both sides fell into a scrappy pattern with East handed a team warning by referee Jamie Barr.

This saw the hosts refocus as the brilliant Watene and Worthington sliced through the defence for Sam Grainey to claim his second in support.

Worthington was the architect again after 56 minutes when Sam Ratcliffe and Josh Adudwumaa vied for his kick, which broke away from both players into the grateful arms of Curtis Littlewood.

Although that try went unconverted, Worthington found his range again on the hour after Tom Fletcher galloped clear following a fine run and offload from Tyron Maki.

Thornhill finally looked like scoring points in the last ten minutes before Watene intercepted and blazed 70 metres for his second try. There was still time for one more Leigh East try as once more Tai Tapou broke and Littlewood backed up for his second try, Worthington adding his final goal to bring the 50 points up.
