Leigh Centurions feature BBC North West Tonight (04/03/15) : Wed Mar 04, 2015 3:18 pm  

Look Out for the BIG feature on Leigh Centurions by Richard Askam on BBC North West Tonight from 6.30 tonight (04/03/15). They were granted full behind the scenes access to everything including our opening day win against Bradford Bulls. This is not to be missed for any Leythers!

Agreed. Saw my nephews wife being interviewed too.

Crowd scenes were very impressive.

Excellent feature and more exposure to come as the season progresses by the sound of it.
Yet another example of what a professionally run club can achieve - this time on the media front.
I guess Mile Latham has been heavily involved in securing the interest of the BBC.
Very well done to everyone involved in the process.
Derek and Paul came across well on interview as usual.

Thanks for the tip-off. You can watch it on the BBC iPlayer, bit it's only there until 6.55pm on Thursday 5 March: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0539g3h/north-west-tonight-04032015 Sport starts at 13,15, the Leigh bit at 15,05 And that explains what happened to Roger Johnson (was on BBC1 South Today as sports reporter, then occasionally Match of the Day).
