Prescot wished that this Unibond Division One North game had been called off near the kick off time as heavy rain made conditions problematic.
Cables squandered the opportunity of opening the scoring when Thurston shot into the side netting with Rey and Green unmarked by the penalty spot.
A controversial incident ended the match in the 75th minute. Keeper Paxton was adjudged to have handled the ball from an unexpected back pass. Baguley blasted the indirect free kick, from the wrong position, through a sea of players into the net as tempers flared.Cables day turned sour like the weather. An outrageous run of the ball was accepted by Ince who made it 2 nil in the 81st minute.
Morgan then brought down Dorney in the box. Stepien slid home a penalty on 84 minutes. Whitham then scored Leigh’s fourth in the 89th minute.The final score by no means represented the match at a sodden Hope Street.
Prescot Cables : Paxton, Sayer, Morgan, Liptrot, McIntosh, Lundon, Wright, Cooney, Green, Rey, Thurston. Subs – Calland (for Cooney, 79), Cliff (for Green, 85), Kirkbride, Riley, Gibiliru
