| Summary:l |
Already humbled out of the cup by a 12 man Saints, Wigan
now faced them in the league at Central Park. Bobbie Goulding was still
suspended for his send off so 18 year old Lee Briers deputised for him at
Scrum Half. Wigan meanwhile had new signing Tony Smith in at Scrum Half for
them and all was well first half with Wigan taking an 8-0 lead after a Gary
Connolly try and two goals from Andy Farrell. Wigan though had wasted
chances to extend the lead with Steve Prescott being brilliant in defence
and the loss of Henry Paul to injury on the half hour was a big blow. Saints
made those missed opportunities pay second half with four tries to win at
Central Park for the first time since Boxing Day 1997. It was also Wigan's
first home loss since Wakefield had won in February 1994. |
