| Summary: |
This was a tough cup draw for Wigan away at league
leaders Widnes and it proved to be a miserable afternoon with one newspaper
describing the BBC televised match as a "non-event". The same article went
on to describe Wigan as "astonishingly poor". Widnes led comfortable 11-2 at
half time and Wigan showed no signs of recovery after the interval. Wigan
did get a try back to make it 14-5 at one point but Widnes progressed to
leave Wigan fighting just in the league. |
