RECORD LOW ON OPENING NIGHT

Leopards win after first 0-0

- Dave Craven

ICONIC boxing announcer Michael Buffer called Super League's opening night - but Leigh's Gareth O'Brien delivered a knockout punch to champions Wigan.

Remarkably, for the first time in Super League's 30-year history and since 1993 in the British game a match ended scoreless after 80 minutes.

But cool-headed stand-off O'Brien stepped up to score a golden point winner with a dramatic drop-goal in front of a record Super League attendance for opening night of 21,748.
