LEIGH'S pre-season preparations for the new rugby union season have been in full swing now for about a month with fantastic attendances recorded at senior training sessions which are held at the club on Tuesday and Thursday at 7pm.

Three pre-season friendlies have been arranged for August before the season in South Lancs/Cheshire One begins in September-they are against Queens Park from Scotland on August 5, Aspull August 12 and Tarleton on August 19 - all to be played at Leigh.
