LEIGH RMI have a mouth-watering line-up of pre-season games to prepare them for a fourth season in the Nationwide Conference including visits from Bury, Everton and Blackburn.

"There will be plenty of quality on show", said manager Mark Patterson.

"Bury will bring their first team because they do not have any reserves. We play Everton which will be their reserves but will include one or two names. We then play a Blackburn XI."

Friendlies: July 10, Bamber Bridge away; 11-13 Isle of Man tour; 19 All star challenge; 23 Bury home; 26 Everton home; 30 Blackburn Rovers home. August 2 Rossendale away.

Hilton Park will host a special fun-day to launch the new Leigh RMI strip on Saturday, July 19.

The new look kit, sponsored by Body Image Fitness Centre will be unveiled at an all-star game involving former Wanderers' star John McGinlay and veterans from Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool and Everton.

Leigh will play in their new kit of all red with white sleeves, while the all-stars will play in the new away strip of blue and white stripes, which is coincidentally the same as the old Horwich RMI colours.
