LEIGH RU re-gained the Brian Drummond Memorial Trophy and retained their undefeated league record with a 29-18 win at Warrington,

Poor Leigh defensive play allowed Warrington early possession and although they missed a penalty, they took the lead with a try in the corner.

Leigh replied when a strong run from winger Oldham saw substitute stand-off Peacock cross for a try which Wilcock converted.

Both sides missed penalty chances but the Warrington pack were retaining ball possession resulting in a second try, which was converted to regain the lead. A Wilcock penalty reduced the deficit to 12-10 at half-time.

As the Warrington pack tired, the Leigh forwards began to dominate but the poor handling continued and several try-scoring opportunities were missed. In a tense final quarter, both sides converted two penalties each, giving the home side a narrow 18-16 advantage.

The Leigh pack were now applying heavy pressure on the Warrington eight and substitute Eckersley calmly dropped a goal, and a further Wilcock penalty opened up a 22-18 lead for the visitors. Leigh clinched it in the final minutes when a searing break by Oldham, one of several during the game, produced a fine try and a Wilcock conversion.
