Having already won the League, Challenge Cup, Regal Trophy & Lancashire Cup, Wigan were aiming to complete the "Grand Slam" in this Premiership Final against St Helens, who they had beaten to the title only on points difference. Saints had led 4-0 at half time with a try from Gary Connolly but Mike Forshaw's try in the 59th Minute levelled the scores at 4-4. Then two drop goals from Gus O'Donnell edged Saints into a 6-4 lead before Paul Loughlin's try sealed the win. Wigan tried in vain to get the equalising score but they looked very tired in that last quarter. This loss was Wigan's first defeat in 18 finals since losing to Saints in the 1984 Lancashire Cup Final.
