| Summary:l |
The build up to this Cup Quarter Final had been dominated
by Wigan's refusal to allow BBC Grandstand to televise the match. They would
later be fined £500 by the Rugby League Consultative Committee for their
refusal. Ironically the tie on the day it was supposed to be played was
frozen off, as was the BBC's alternate pick of Warrington v Leeds. So
instead the match was played at 6:30pm on a Wednesday Night at Odsal, no
floodlights meaning the early kick off was dictated by daylight. Bradford took
the lead with a "fine try" by Walker but Wigan eventually took control to
win 15-6. |
