Leigh Leopards successful in Edwin Ipape appeal

LEIGH LEOPARDS were last night successful in appealing Edwin Ipape’s Grade B Dangerous Contact charge.

The hooker was charged by the Disciplinary Match Review Panel after an incident in Sunday’s win at Bradford Bulls.

He received three penalty points and a fine but an Operational Rules Tribunal last night found him not guilty.

As such, those three penalty points have been taken off Ipape’s record.
