The Leigh Leopards edged the Castleford Tigers 24-18 at Progress With Unity Stadium, securing their ninth win from eleven outings and keeping their play‑off aspirations alive.

David Armstrong led the charge for Leigh, scoring twice and setting up a first try for Lachlan Lam. Lam added a second, while Umyla Hanley also crossed the line and Adam Cook converted all four tries. The Tigers were hurt early when Jason Qareqare had a try ruled out кишиләр twice, and later a second try was disallowed for obstruction, leaving the squad frustrated.

Castleford fought back, with Sam Hall, Daejarn Asi, Mikaele Ravalawa and Phoenix Laulu‑Togaga'e contributing points, but a sin‑bin for Louis Senior on a tackle over Armstrong limited their comeback. Leigh's defence held firm in the dying minutes to seal the win.

The result keeps Leigh within striking distance of the top six, while the Tigers must regroup as they chase the remaining play‑off spots. A late surge could still swing momentum, but the win gives Leigh a tangible boost as the Super League season pushes toward its final stretch.
