| Summary:l |
Saints built up a lead with David Traynor kicking first a
penalty, then a drop goal, then a try before converting for a 9-0 lead.
Wigan reduced that to 9-5 before half time with Billy Rhoden's try being
converted by John Winstanley. In the second half Percy Jago made it 9-8 but
the missed conversion by John Winstanley proved the difference between
victory and defeat. |
