We put up a good hard fought effort tonight, at one point we had 5 consecutive drop outs to put up with but held strong. The only time the defence was broken was when we looked like scoring on a break out from Higgy and the rest of the team switched off. A good arm wrestle that we just shaded I think

Superb defensive display under pressure after a lot of lost ball in our own half, first half especially, seemed to be a lot of errors at the play the ball but what a tackling stint that was! Hats off to all the lads that was some struggle tonight. Another punch up and down to 12 men each seems like a good omen!

That was brutal at times error strewn handling from the Centurions bombed several,try scoring chances but the defence from both teams WOW plenty of biff plenty of exciting play Leigh just need to realise that if they run onto the ball and move it wide they will score just like McNallys try at the death Great Win lads well played Halifax all in all a exciting match lol

That was one of the best defensive displays I've ever seen - awesome.







Ball in hand was a different matter but my God those boys ran their blood to water defending their line. Well done to each and every one of them.



What a team.

Fantastic effort...REALLY ENJOYED THAT !

Loved it when Adam Higson 'smashed' (fairly) their no.16 Heaton, after that he was just a liability for Fax, bet he regrets picking on Anthony Bate !!!



Friend of mine Ste Hull coached him at Thatto Heath, describing him as "one hard little bar steward" as Ben Heaton found out !!!!

A sensational defensive display. Wow. Just wow.



I'm a happy chappy tonight!

Amazed that there are so few posts about the match. Looks like an old fashioned arm wrestle...the bulk of the points being scored in the last 5 minutes - highly unusual in this day and age. Who was sent off and why?



I see the crowd was 2,000 which isn't bad considering the timing...looks like we picked up an extra 4 or 500 from the cup win.



Two points behind Fax now and we are unlikely to overtake them. Still, a good win after all the exertions and excitement of the last couple of weeks - could easily have turned into a loss, so the great defence speaks volumes about the pride and passion of the lads.



I don't think there will be anyone fancying playing us in the play-offs home or away.

Those who really love and understand the game will appreciate the quality of the defence (5 consecutive drop-outs is an incredible stat in itself) and know that its worth the admission price just to see it.

it was announced as 1.772 (I think) not bad though.

Absolutely awesome show tonight!



The defence was brutal at times and going down to 12 men seems to suit us.



Batey is one hard nut though!



Nozzy - I reckon you can get 3 matches in when you're home so you can get your fix!!!!

TBH that defensive display was nothing short of heroic, the amount of sets spent on our line seemed never ending - not sure I have ever seen such commitment in watching 40 years of RL

Pretty clear we were playing on empty for large parts of the game, where they found the energy from gawd knows

Wow what a fantastc defensive display . I am so so proud of each and every player you were awesome . I'm one very happy and proud Leigh. Centurions supporter . Well Done to everyone
