In an exciting match, the Leigh Leopards secured a 28-24 victory over the Huddersfield Giants, reigniting their Super League play-off aspirations.
The Leopards, recovering from previous defeats, climbed to third place in the standings after establishing a commanding 28-6 lead with just 15 minutes left.
Despite a strong start from Huddersfield, which saw full-back George Flanagan adeptly handle multiple high kicks, they fell behind in the 17th minute.
Leigh's Isaac Liu broke through for a try after receiving a short pass from hooker Edwin Ipape, making it 6-0.
The Leopards extended their advantage eight minutes later, thanks to Ben McNamara.
After Keanan Brand made a break down the right and was stopped by Flanagan, McNamara was in the right place to receive the offload and score again.
Despite the late resurgence from Huddersfield, who managed three late tries, Leigh held on for the win, showcasing resilience to maintain their position in the playoff race.
