Huge win for oldham. First away win, the double over sheffield and out of the relegation places until the weekend at least.

We're on 24 points LRL.

[JDINTHEHIZZOUSE]

looking at those fixtures I think Bradford could still sneak in

[Lounge Room Lizard]

We're on 24 points LRL.

Correct my mistake sorry. I still think Bradford are very much in this as Fax face London and Leigh and Batley face Featherstone and London. Very close to call. 

[Niels]

Delighted too. Leigh played honest and to the end as they did at Blackpool.

It is a shame to see the 2 Cumbrian sides struggling as really they have good players. It shows how competitive the division is.

[Southampton Leyther]

Leigh v Bradford was one of the most entertaining matches I have seen this season.

 

By no means a great performance by either side but it was a full blooded game, played in good spirits (for once!) with some moments of real class from both teams.

 

Micky Higham has still got all the skills and was the main difference between the 2 teams today IMO.

 

Also if Bradford could play with the same intensity every week as they do against Leigh they would be in zero danger of missing the Middle 8's!
