THREE Leigh Centurion rugby league players have again appeared before Halton magistrates charged with affray.

Former Widnes academy prop Adam Bibey, 20, older brother Ricky, 24, both from Atherton, stand accused of the offence along with team-mate Jonathan 'Dana' Wilson, 23, of Leigh.

Neither defendant formally entered a plea at the Tuesday morning hearing before magistrates in Runcorn.

The affray charges relate to an alleged incident outside Top of the Town nightclub in Albert Road, Widnes, on January 8.

The trio will appear before magistrates for a third time on August 14 for a committal hearing.

Ricky Bibey and Wilson are Leigh first team regulars. Adam Bibey is recovering from a shoulder injury and hasn't featured since an early season game against Widnes Vikings.
