Champions Leigh East took a week off from the National Conference Premier League to take on French Federation Champions, Palau, near Perpignan, for the European Championship crown. With a few players unable to make the trip due to work commitments and lack of holidays, following international trips with the BARLA squads in the summer, it was still a strong squad which left on Friday morning. Although it has been a costly exercise for the club, the opportunity to bring the European Championship title to Leigh was worth the expense and the decision paid off with East winning by 50-12. Tries came from Gary Middlehurst (4), Ryan Fieldhouse, Danny Kilshaw and Chris Penn bagging two tries each, while Adrian Dootson landed five goals. The man of the match went to Danny Kilshaw who in the last few weeks has regained his form, following a broken arm in the National Cup Final against Queens last season. This coming Saturday East welcome Skirlaugh to Ledgard Avenue for a 2:30 kick off. The Humbersiders having won the trophy in 2007 will be going all out for a victory following five straight league defeats with hopes of pushing for a playoff spot at the end of the season. 21 Aug A York Acorn W 26 14 25 Aug H (7:30) Leigh Miners Rangers L 22 24 31 Aug A (7:30) Wigan St Judes L 12 30 04 Sep H Wath Brow Hornets W 34 10 11 Sep A Siddal L 8 9 18 Sep H Thatto Heath Crusaders W 40 20 25 Sep A East Hull L 6 40 02 Oct A Wigan St Patricks W 42 6 09 Oct H Bradford Dudley Hill W 28 21 16 Oct A Hull Dockers PP In France 16 Oct A PALAU (France) W 50 12 23 Oct H Skirlaugh 30 Oct H West Hull 06 Nov A Saddleworth Rangers 13 Nov H York Acorn 20 Nov A Wath Brow Hornets 27 Nov H Siddal 04 Dec A Thatto Heath Crusaders 11 Dec H East Hull 18 Dec A Leigh Miners Rangers 08 Jan H Wigan St Judes 22 Jan H Wigan St Patricks 12 Feb A Bradford Dudley Hill 19 Feb H Hull Dockers 26 Feb A Skirlaugh 12 Mar A West Hull 19 Mar H Saddleworth Rangers
