Adrian Lam says last year’s Challenge Cup triumph gave Leigh an identity

Lachlan Lam’s golden-point drop goal sealed a 17-16 final win in 2023 over Hull KR, who the Leopards will face in the quarter-finals on Saturday.

Leigh head coach Adrian Lam believes last year’s dramatic Betfred Challenge Cup final win over Hull KR at Wembley laid the foundations for the club to become a recognised force at the top of the domestic game.

He said: “The Challenge Cup was one of the greatest moments for the club in the past century, and it created some memories that we will keep in our hearts – not just the players and staff but the whole town. Lam described Rovers’ recent form as “scintillating”, and suggested the hosts will be up for the fight in light of what happened at Wembley last year: “They will be emotionally connected to that, so we have to match it,” he added.
