LEIGH East cruised back to winning ways with a seven try home success over Thornhill Trojans.

From the first minute East controlled the game. They took a lead they were never to lose after seven minutes when Zac Nicholls burst over from Adam Holland's pass. Tom Worthington added the goal.

East repeated the dose after 14 minutes with Worthington putting Nicholls in for his second. Worthington strck the extras and it was 12-0. Holland then shot to the line himself with the hosts leading 16-0 with barely eighteen minutes played.

Thornhill knuckled down and responded with a try before half time when big substitute Gareth Love proved unstoppable but East made the game safe with two tries in the first eight minutes of the new half. First the outstanding Jay Yarwood collected a bobbling ball after Jordan Hellam's improvised kick and a fumble by Thornhill stand-off Will Gledhill.

Worthington goaled and East found the scoring groove again three minutes later when Holland's cross field kick was spilled by the visitors and Sam Grainey touched down.

Trailing 26-4 into the final ten minutes, Thornhill briefly threatened a comeback when Gledhill scored their second try but Leigh East finished the game strongly.

First Grainey went over 30 metres from a tap penalty to score before the hosts scored a wonderful team try before the final whistle.

Started by a Pat Grainey break from inside his own half, the move was carried on by Ben Parry before Worthington supported and added his fourth goal to secure the 36-8 victory.
