LEIGH RL Referees' Society are celebrating after one of their members was appointed to officiate at Cardiff.

Chris Waywell has been chosen by the RFL as one of a panel of four to handle the finals of the Powergen Champion Schools competition.

The finals are played over the Challenge Cup Final weekend with the Year 7 final being played as a curtain-raiser to the Wigan v St Helens final at the Millennium Stadium.

The Leigh Society had more good news when member Robert Ainsworth was promoted to the RFL's panel of Super League touch judges.
