| Summary:l |
Wembley was at stake with Wigan meeting Hull KR on a poor
and muddy Headingley pitch. It was a tight first half with the wind in Hull
KR's favour but they chose on a few occasions not to take penalty goal shots
and perhaps regretted this later. They did take the lead with a Kellett
penalty but Wigan went ahead just before half time with good combination
from Alan Davies and Eric Ashton getting Dave Bolton over for a try. In the
second half Wigan had the wind at their backs but it was only in the final
quarter that they ran amok with Davies completing a second half hat-trick. |
