| Summary:l |
Wigan hadn't won the Lancashire Cup since 1951 and thus
it remained the only medals that had eluded the great duo of Billy Boston
and Eric Ashton. This then was a big opportunity to rectify that and Wigan
got off to a great start with one newspaper describing "Oldham's goose was
cooked in the first ten minutes". That was to say that they had started
strongly but hadn't managed to score and Wigan ended up counter attacking to
lead with a try from Boston on their first attack of the match. For the rest
of the match, Oldham kept close to Wigan but it was mainly on the back of
penalty kicks than tries. Wigan won 16-13 in the end with them having got
four tries to one. So Boston and Ashton completed their medal collections
whilst Wigan won their 14th Lancashire Cup. |
