| Summary:l |
Saints took the lead with a David Traynor penalty goal
before a brilliant half length of the field run saw Jim Barnes finish under
the posts, easy conversion for Traynor making it 7-0. Wigan hit back early
second half with a try from Elijah Prescott making it 7-3 but a second try
from Jim Barnes made it 12-3 to Saints and they kicked on after that.
Traynor and Patrick Boyle added tries and it was quite a rout in the end. |
