In-form Leigh cruise past sorry Warrington

In-form Leigh cruise past sorry Warrington reports Leigh Leopards’ dominant Magic Weekend opener, defeating Warrington Wolves 24-6 at Hill Dickinson Stadium. Leigh scored four tries from Tesi Niu, David Armstrong, Edwin Ipape and Umyla Hanley, while Adam Cook added four goals in an eighth Super League win in 10 matches. Warrington, second in the standings, were limited to a single converted try by Marc Sneyd with two minutes remaining, with the visitors missing 10 first-team players due to injury, including captain George Williams, Josh Thewlis and Toby King. The result tightened the Super League race for the top six. Leigh closed the gap to that group as Warrington’s position depends on later outcomes. Warrington could drop to third if Wigan Warriors beat St Helens in the final game of the weekend tomorrow evening.
