Leigh Leopards Come From Behind To Beat York
Few people gave Championship side York RLFC Knights any chance of making progress in the Challenge Cup as they welcomed high flying Super League side Leigh Leopards to the LNER Community Stadium.

York coach Andrew Henderson had a long injury list which left him without the services of half a dozen first team choices, while Leigh's Adrian Lam could pick an almost unchanged side, although he was without the injured Edwin Ipape and Ricky Leutele.
