Rugby Union: Leigh 26, New Brighton 12
Oct 15 2007 by Our Correspondent, Liverpool Daily Post
LEIGH shocked New Brighton with this EDF Energy National Trophy first round victory.
Two weeks ago, the Blues had won 27-6 in a North Two West League clash but Leigh were good value gaining touch downs via Paul Wilcox, Ryan McKinsty and Dennis Day. There was also a penalty try while Wilcox secured three conversions.
New Brighton for whom it was a first defeat had to settle for tries via Alistair Child and Vin Dutton plus a conversion by Stephen Dean.
The Blues rested a number of key players and came under a lot of pressure through lack of good possession.
