LIONS LIGHT SPARK

In-form Leichhardt set for FNQ Premier League derby clash

LEICHHARDT has overcome a scrappy start to the season to become arguably the most in-form team in the FNQ Premier League to set up an explosive heavyweight battle with the unbeaten treble champions.

Edge Hill United burst out of the gates after the coronavirus shutdown to put together an unblemished eight-game winning run, with Sunday’s characterbuilding 3-0 win in atrocious conditions at Innisfail the latest in their successful start.

The Lions stumbled to just one win in the first four games, but have put together a league-best 26 goals in their past five games to heap pressure on the Tigers.

Leichhardt midfielder Cameron Nucifora revealed how they turned their season around ahead of their mouthwatering top-of-the-table clash.
