Leigh extended their winning run to three on the bounce, and their unbeaten streak to six, thanks to a suffocating bowling display followed by a perfectly timed chase at Southport & Birkdale.
The individual star of a dominant team display was Sam Dorsey, whose 95 featured eight fours and three sixes and never let the home attack settle, after skipper Chris Cunningham’s delayed declaration left them 40 overs in which to get 208 runs.
The last hour dawned with 133 required from 120 balls - Dorsey and Mattie McKiernan struck an early boundary in four of the next six overs, then picked off easy singles in the vast outfield.
