LEIGH, assured of a quarter-final place in the Arriva Trains Cup, came from 18-6 behind to claim victory, but it came at a price.

Full-back Neil Turley was taken for hospital checks after being carried off with an ankle problem.

The Leigh points-machine had scored three tries and kicked seven goals for a personal haul of 26 points in a low-intensity game that contained 16 tries.

Hornets showed their best form when Damian Ball, Sean Cooper and Jon Roper crossed in an inspired first-half spell, but their second-half fade-out, when they leaked seven tries, will concern coach Martin Hall ahead of their National League opener against Oldham on Thursday.

Leigh, who travel to Hull KR on Good Friday, at least recovered some face after their shock defeat at Chorley.

"It was important to get back that attacking edge," said coach Paul Terzis.
