Warrington Town vs. Leigh Genesis preview
By Matt Lawton July 17 2008
Saturday afternoon sees the continuation of Leigh Genesis’ pre-season programme when Steve Bleasdale's side make the short journey to Cheshire to take on UniBond League Division One North neighbours Warrington Town at Cantilever Park (3pm kick off).
Warrington's home ground of Cantilever Park, in the Latchford area of the town, is situated just eleven miles from Leigh, with a large travelling support expected to make the short journey after a massive contingent of Genesis supporters witnessed Tuesday night's 5-0 win over Atherton Collieries at Alder House.

As far as the bookmakers are concerned, Town are expected to find themselves in mid-table in the UniBond League Division One North this season after last year saw them finish thirteenth in UniBond League Division One South. The Warrington club have boasted a number of former Leigh players in recent times in the form of Danny Morton, Dave Tickle, Liam Coyne, Neil Smith, Ged Courtney and Steve Smith as a result of the involvement in recent times of former Leigh manager Andy Nelson.

The towns of Leigh and Warrington have been keen rivals on the rugby league field for more than a century, but Saturday represents the first time in several seasons that the town's footballing sides take centre stage, with the Wire producing a match programme to herald the occasion.

As you would expect from such a local game, Leigh-based supporters can comfortably reach the game via public transport, with the 19 and 28A bus services operating to Warrington from Leigh Bus Station. Although the ground is just about within walking distance of the town centre, the 11, 11A, 12 and 12A bus routes all run past the ground from Warrington Interchange.

Admission for Saturday's game is £4 for adults, £2 for concessions with a 3pm kick off at Cantilever Park.

Get down to Warrington and make yourself heard; come on Leythers!

How long do you reckon it would take to get there? Finish work at 2pm so not sure whether its worth the effort.

You'd easily manage it in an hour - I made it back from the Halliwell Jones within 20 minutes of the final whistle when the Centurions played there last Boxing Day!
