The start of the second
half saw Easts impove their lead to 8-0 with a converted try. From the
restart Ashtons David Aimes was involved twice in a move to send
Taylor in for a try which Aimes converted from the touchline to make
the score 8-6 to Leigh. Leigh increased their lead to 10-6 on 50mins
with another penalty goal. Ashton finally got their noses infront on
65mins with a converted try from Paul Murphy after good play from
David Smith and David Aimes.The win was secured on 75 mins
after a good break from hooker Phil Ashcroft saw Smith put Matty
Hughes in for a try near the post which Aimes converted.
