Summary:l |
For the second year in a row Saints were wounded in the
"Top 4" play off hopes with failure to beat Wigan in a crunch match. They
left themselves too much to do after Wigan had a healthy first half lead.
Ken Gee opened the scoring early with a penalty before Jimmy Stott soon
responded with one for Saints. Then Billy Blan found the first try of the
game that made it 7-2 after Gee converted but a second penalty from Stott
reduced that to 7-4. It was after that, that Wigan had a white spot spell
towards the break. Tries from Brian Nordgren and Ces Mountford made it 13-4.
Neither of those tries were converted but a penalty from Gee made it 15-4
early in the second half before a try from Joe Ball, converted by Stott,
brought that back to 15-9. The match was now a tense affair and no further
score game until Steve Llewellyn beat Jackie Cunliffe in the air to collect
a kick from Stott and make it 15-12. Conversion was missed though and Wigan
managed to hang on in the end with Gee adding a late penalty. |
