Warrington title hopes hit by dominant Leigh

BBC Sport · 3 months ago

Leigh Leopards secured a convincing 24-6 victory over Warrington Wolves during Magic Weekend, with tries from Tesi Niu, David Armstrong, Edwin Ipape and Umyla Hanley driving their dominant performance. The result represents Leigh's eighth win in their last ten matches and strengthens their bid for a top-six position whilst significantly denting Warrington's championship aspirations.

Warrington were substantially handicapped by injuries to ten players, including captain George Williams, and were unable to mount an effective challenge at Hill Dickinson Stadium. The second-placed side's loss means they have dropped an opportunity to match leaders Leeds on points and could fall to third place depending on other weekend results.
