United target Phil Marsh was the main architect of their downfall with a hat-trick which included two penalties. Chris Thompson bagged Leigh's other goal.
Neil Chappell and debutant Carl Lomax replied for the Rebel Reds.

HOW MANY WERE THERE.
1,850 Malc. Not very good for us, it must be said, but just to get things into perspective, it was more than double all attendances in the Blue Square North, (1 division higher) with the exception of Fleetwood with 1,042.It was also higher than the average attendances for all Blue Square Premier clubs this season, apart from the top 5, who are all ex - Football League clubs. It is also higher than average gates at some League 2 clubs. And louder than them all ! (Even when we lose )
