A Win and A Loss This Past Weekend

In Rugby League, we saw the North Leeds Leopards extend their amazing streak even further to 9 wins in a row. To what has been one of their closest wins in the past few weeks they managed to triumph with a 46 - 30 win against Milford.

In cricket, an unfortunate and close loss for North Leeds as we saw the team lose 200 - 204/4 against Horsforth Hall Park Cricket Club. Nevertheless, the team should be proud as they were very close to taking this as a win.

Have a great day!
