LEIGH RMI went nap for the second time in 48 hours.

They beat St Helens 5-1 just two days after thumping five past Bootle in the build-up to the new season.

But manager Steve Waywell, though delighted at the goal rush, is concerned about some shakiness in defence.

St Helens went ahead on Saturday before Brian Ross - who has scored in all three pre-season friendlies - levelled it. Tony Black rapped in a quickfire hat-trick and trialist Steve Jones wrapped it up, capping a third impressive display.

VOLEX will stage a charity soccer match on the adjoining fields at their Butts Bridge plant on August 6 (2.15pm). They will be raising funds for Christie's Hospital in Manchester.
