LEIGH Centurions stayed three points clear at the top of the Betfred Championship after an 11-try demolition of Dewsbury Rams in a 60-6 win at the Tetley's Stadium.

Leigh have won the AB Sundecks 1895 Cup after beating Featherstone 30-16 at Spurs. Level at the break Leigh pulled away in the second half with an outstanding effort from Edwin Ipape from dummy half, a tough pack display and some quality work in the backs seeing them home.

LEIGH are a different side since the one that had its colours lowered by Featherstone in week two of the Championship season.

KEANAN Brand scored a first half hat-trick as Leigh turned on the style in front of Featherstone head coach Brian McDermott with a nine-try, 52-0 win at Batley.

JOE Wardle believes Leigh’s Challenge Cup campaign can highlight the club’s credentials as genuine Super League contenders.

SCRUMS will be returning to all rugby league competitions in 2022 from the end of January.

FORMER Wigan prop Tony Clubb has been appointed Adrian Lam's assistant coach as preparations step up for Leigh's start of the 2022 Betfred Championship season.

LEIGH Centurions will play the final game of the 2021 Dacia Magic Weekend on September 5 at Newcastle’s St James’ Park.
