| Summary:l |
Wigan took the lead after good work from Tony
Stephens had set up the territory for Frankie Parr to send Billy Boston over
through tackle attempts by Risman and Wriglesworth. In the second half the
lead was reduced to 3-2 with a penalty for Leeds from Risman but two later
penalties by Eric Ashton proved to be enough to seal a return to Wembley for
the cup holders from Central Park. |
