| Summary:l |
Wigan took the lead in the 10th Minute with Ernie
Aschroft scoring a try and Jackie Cunliffe converting for a 5-0 lead. But
Wigan had a poor second quarter of the match and Bradford hit back to lead
10-5 at the break after tries from Hawes and Mageen, one of which was
converted by Phillips who also added a penalty goal. Wigan levelled up the
match with a 50th Minute try from Roy Williams, converted by Cunliffe. The
10-10 deadlock remained until the 75th Minute when Brian Nordgren made a
break. His run was being cut off, so he kicked back inside for centre
partner Jack Broome to chase. Hawes looked to have it covered but failed to
gather the bouncing ball and Broome pounced to claim the match winning try. |
