Vandalism forces postponement

Leigh Genesis regret to announce that this Wednesday's home fixture against Cammell Laird has been forced to be postponed because of vandalism at Crilly Park over the weekend.

Atherton LR's scheduled home fixture against Rossendale United has been switched to take place at Rossendale, but unfortunately Cammell Laird were unable to cater for a similar request and as such the game has been re-scheduled to take place at Crilly Park on Tuesday 16th November with a 7.45pm kick off.

As a result of the weekend's vandalism, Leigh's game against Durham City this weekend has been switched to an away fixture and as such will no longer take place at Crilly Park, instead to be played at Durham's Esh Group Stadium this Saturday (30th October) with a 3pm kick off.

upset to hear this - we need to establish how they got into the ground so to stop them from doing so again.

Not sure where they got in to be honest but wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't via the railway line.
