Was it Kerry Hemsley's first game for us that day. I remember it being the first time I saw him, think I laughed at his long hair in a bobble.

Not sure if it was a double debut or not, but yeah i know what you mean about Helmsley's flowing locks, looked like something out of game of thrones or vikings

I couldn't agree more, one of us needs to hit form otherwise it will make for very poor viewing, let's hope the rain stops by then!

Sorry Hatty, I hope it remains wet & windy. I know the pitch won't become 'muddy etc' but I hope it favours a 'battle of the forwards' then we have a chance of winning. Weather forecast is 'clouds/bit of rain' for Leigh on thursday evening, typical English summer weather I guess !!
p.s. Enjoy your Lobby in The Centurion pub !!!

Not sure if it was 83/84 or 84/85 but I have two vague memories of a loss at Hilton Park around that time. 1) John Woods side stepping through deep in his own half and going full length under the posts. Towards the by-pass end.

2) Des Drummond somersault diving over in the corner for a try, towards the terraced houses end (or have I made that up)? I may have had my head in my hands at the time.

Our last win was in 84 with a side that contained 10 Leigh lads in the 13 including 3 from the previous seasons Colts, Des was injured. Hopefully if we can stay up we can start contributing to the player pool again
