Cheers clogdance, did Batley only have the two shots at goal.

Players Stats posted just now, it's the first one on there.

Yes scored 2 tries and kicked a goal

Your lads had a real dig and gave Leigh's defence a good workout in the second half. Credit to Batley, who didn't employ the spoiling tactics, round the ptb,, used by York, the previous weekend. Credit also, to the few fans who risked the M62, on a horrible Friday night.

Saw enough from Batley's makeshift team, to reckon we'll have the usual difficult game at the Mount, later this season.

Were all these players injured or did we go not bothering regarding the Challenge cup? 

I don't know , but suspect we prioritised our next league game

Anyone know what the attendance was

Definitely some work to do on defence.

looks like both sides rested/didn't take risks with players - Leigh without McNally, Scott, Woods, Bienek, and Mason from the York game with Sammut pulling out on the day. Crowd 1600 - wont be much left after costs of LSV

Surely the cost of LSV is down to Leigh? Why should it have to come out of Batley’s share of gate receipts?

There were probably more than that there anyway Graham. They will have factored that in

[RogerT]

That's alright clogdance with not being there and relying on twitter it only mentions when scored a goal, I do a player stats matrix for the Bulldogs forum and this year I have included shots at goal and the successes and failures.

Dont think leigh will have nothing left after paying lsv and also players wages. They might actually end up at a loss.

The rules for Championship clubs drawn at home are: pay the cup levy, pay away team's travel expenses (return coach + meal allowance), take out allowable costs (£1000 + 15% of receipts) and then divide the remainder, paying 30% to the away side immediately and the rest within 7 days.
