THE BRITISH LEIGH CENTURIONS AEROPLANE COMPANY LEIGH CENTURIONS Leigh Centurions are one of the pioneers of Rugby League having been a founder member in 1895. They are led by the team of Chairman Michael Norris and Life President Tommy Sale MBE and the club has made a considerable amount of progress under their guidance. They play their home games at the Leigh Sports Village Stadium having moved there from their Hilton Park Ground in November 2008. The team has been competing in the Kingstone Press Championship in 2014. They have swept aside all challengers in the league so far this season having put together a record of having won 24 and lost just one of their 25 matches. This sees them in a commanding position at the top of the table well clear of any other sides with 73 points on the board. A particular highlight of the teams play has been the attacking brand of rugby that they have managed to produce. This has been reflected by the fact that they have racked up 996 points and are the league’s top scorers by a considerable margin. This has not been detrimental to their defence either as they’ve built a reputation for being difficult to breach. With the season drawing to a close they will be determined to finish it off on a high by claiming some silverware. If they can keep up their recent level of performance they should be in with a great chance of doing just that. One of the standout features of their set-up is the superb work that they are doing in the local community. They have played a vital role in the town for over 100 years now and are continuing in this area through their new community foundation. The club is looking to encourage schoolchildren as well as the rest of the town to take inspiration from rugby league.
