Revenge is sweet!!If at first you don't succeed, Try and Try againLondon 70 Leigh 16, Sunday 29th May "You can only cop so many shots so it is important to keep discipline where it matters""I thought we stuck together well as a team and backed each other up. We weren't doing anything flashy today, we were just doing it at speed. "We are not worried about travelling away from home, it will not stop us from playing our game. "Our goal was to win the last two games but we are not going to just be content with that, we will continue to push on." Tony Rea (London Coach) The ReportLondon Broncos enjoyed a 12-try, 70-16 victory over rock-bottom Leigh Centurions to record their second win in a week at Griffin Park.The Broncos, who trailed 10-6 after 10 minutes, ran riot with Rob Purdham and Thomas Leuluai both scoring hat-tricks.Leigh showed fighting spirit early on but after London established themselves in the first half, there looked no way back for the northerners.The home side opened the scoring after six minutes when Mark McLinden sent Purdham clear to touch down to score the first of his four. Leigh pulled back four minutes later, however, with Robbie Mears ducking under Mark Tookey's tackle to send Phil Jones into the corner and they took the lead three minutes later, John Wilshere taking advantage as the Broncos' defence backed off him to put Ben Cooper over the line. The Broncos hit back and were ahead after 18 minutes, Leuluai creating a chance from McLinden to jink his way around his marker. Dave Highton scored the Broncos' third try after 21 minutes following a good break by Lee Hopkins. Then, as Leigh tired, Leuluai was again the outlet as Purdham grabbed his second try after 34 minutes. He then completed his hat-trick two minutes before the break after picking up a loose ball 30 metres out. McLinden still had time to score his second try on the stroke of half-time after Hopkins broke through Leigh's non-existent defences. The Broncos did not take their foot off the pedal after the break, Leuluai juggling Luke Dorn's pass before touching down four minutes in. Purdham took his tally of tries to four two minutes later after McLinden worked an opening. Leuluai then completed a 15-minute hat-trick with tries nine and 10 as the Broncos passed the half century mark before there was an hour on the clock. Paul Sykes was next over and Dorn scored the Broncos' 12th try with Highton and Leigh's Craig Stapleton in the sin-bin after an ugly mass brawl, but the visitors did have the consolation of John Duffy rounding off the scoring with a late try.
