Oldham RL 14, Leigh Centurions 56

OLDHAM RL's bid to extend their impressive home record to five Championship victories was wrecked by a rampant Leigh Centurions side.

The high-fliers notched 10 tries and eight goals in an awesome performance which extended their lead to three points at the top of the table. The Roughyeds remain ninth.

Back in the team after injury, Danny Langtree went in for Oldham, along with Danny Grimshaw and Liam Johnson, while Steve Roper kicked a goal.

Reni Maitua (two), Lee Smith, Martyn Ridyard, Liam Kay, Liam Hood, Tom Armstrong, Ben Reynolds, Jamie Acton and Dayne Weston dived in for Leigh, who held a 26-6 lead at half-time. Ridyard (six) and Reynolds (two) added the extras.
