LEIGH SNATCH VICTORY FROM WOLVES’ GRASP
LEIGH LEOPARDS 20 WARRINGTON WOLVES 16
DAVE PARKINSON Leigh Sports Village, Friday
LEIGH left it late to win one of the best Super League games of the season, with England hopeful Owen Trout grounding the ball for the all-important try in the 78th minute.
The in-form Leopards trailed for the majority of the game - including by twelve points with a quarter of an hour left - as Warrington, after a contrastingly poor run of performances, produced one of their best efforts of the year.
But Leigh’s late, late show puts them back within a point of rivals Wigan in second, while the Wolves have much work still to do to salvage their season.
A strong Warrington effort saw them on the front foot from early on when Marc Sneyd teased a couple of errors from Leopards fullback Bailey Hodgson, who to his credit recovered well with two or three sparkling runs of his own.
