| Summary:l |
Wigan finally returned to action after a horrible winter
had seen them, and most Rugby League clubs, without action for two and half
months. 76 days in fact since Wigan last played a competitive fixture, this
Challenge Cup tie at Hull was finally on 26 days after it should have been
first played. The break had been so long that Wigan played a friendly at
Leigh on the Monday prior to this game to gain some match fitness, that
match being arranged after a proposed friendly game against Blackpool the
Saturday prior had been called off late due to a pay dispute. Rustiness was still
on show in this cup tie, played on a Thursday at 4:15. The only score of the
first half was a penalty goal from Eric Ashton for 2-0. He doubled the lead
with another penalty for 4-0 and that score held all the way until the 78th
Minute when Stan McLeod sent Billy Boston racing away from the half way line
to score the games only try. |
