Leigh Leopards v Bradford Bulls News

The Leigh Leopards welcome the Bradford Bulls across the Pennines from West Yorkshire to the north-west of England for a match up that will grab the attention of both sets of fans.

Bradford started the summer era of the sport as one of the giants of Rugby League and consistently challenging for titles and trophies, but things still fell apart as they failed to invest in their facilites, leaving to financial issues and for them to drop out of the topflight and struggle to survive.

Leigh on the other hand have spent large parts of the summer era outside of the topflight but they have improved their facilites, rebuilt and have not only established themselves in the top tier of Rugby League in Europe, but they have become a club challenging for, and winning, silverware.

Now that Bradford are back in the topflight, they will be looking to re-establish themselves at this level and what better way to go around that than to go to the home of one of the top clubs in the country and come away with the win?
