Park went to Leigh with a number of key players missing and were soon on the back foot after two minutes with Leigh's backs running straight through the Park defence. The travelling supporters were in for bad afternoon as Leigh dominated in all areas of the pitch and began to run in try after try without anything back from the Park side.
Leigh had a strong powerful pack that continued to run at Park then off load to their backs to score . Park's tackling was woeful and by half time Leigh had scored six tries the score being 40 nil. Coach Farr tried to rally the team but it was a day he would like to forget as Leigh started the second half confident and playing attractive rugby.
The tries continued to be scored with a further seven before the referee blew for full time with one of the worst defeats in Parks history losing
87 - 0. Some tireless work by the back row forwards Matt Treacy and Gary Dykes was in vain and another player to the injury list Dan Williams with damaged to his elbow. Charlie Smith playing scrum half showed promise but a tough game to step up to first team rugby.
Park have a tough battle on their hands with only 9 games left and fighting to stay in this league. They have a long list of injured players and the depth in the squad is limited so really need some players to step up to the challenge and support the club in staying up in this league.
Team:
Mike Eaves, Jake Cornwell, Dan Snowden, Dave Cross, Chris Heal , Dan Williams, Gary Dykes, Matt Treacy, Charlie Smith, Will Morrillo, Sam Brookes, Lewis Pickering, Josh Gibbons, Chris Twigg and James Pugh.
Replacements: Ryan Snow and Jack Johnson.
Park have a tough game at home next week against Rochdale 2:15pm KO
