Leigh had lost just one of their 27 games during the regular season to finish five points clear of nearest rivals Featherstone Rovers - and 16 ahead of fifth-placed Batley. Coach's son Lachlan Lam got Leigh off and running with their first try of the nightīut he has built a good side at Leigh Sports Village as the Championship and 1895 Cup winners had already shown.Īnd although Leigh have twice before won promotion in 20, this night was a lot more exciting a night for their fans under the lights than the way they last went up in 2020 on a Super League boardroom show of hands in place of Toronto. The former Wigan boss' sole quest will now be to become the first Leigh coach not to suffer instant relegation from Super League, as has happened on their three previous visits. Having got one back through Dale Morton, Leigh at least had the honour of the final score of the night when Adam Gledhill went over late on for their second try.īut it could not take the gloss off a great night for Leigh - and their coach Adrian Lam, who confirmed before the game that he had signed a new two-year deal. Inu, Caleb Aekins, Joe Mellor, Nene MacDonald, and Kai O'Donnell then added five more tries in the second half. Lachlan Lam, Kristian Inu and Joe Wardle all crossed before the break.
