Formerly known as Leigh R.M.I - went under yesterday. They were relegated from the Evo-Stick Division One this/last season and have withdrawn their application to play in the North West Counties League (UCL standard). A dramatic decline.

“This is an absolute disgrace” said secretary Mary Croasdale. “We left Hilton Park in 2008 on a long standing promise by the council that Leigh Sports Village Stadium would be our permanent home, but the original promises seem to have been ignored and financial gain has overtaken the original ideal of a ‘community stadium’ for the town. Blackburn Rovers Reserves play all their home matches at the ground and do not seem to struggle getting a lease at the ground, whilst the town's own team is given the cold shoulder.“
