| Summary:l |
Wigan had been so poor in the season they may have feared
the visit of Hull semi pro side Groves United but instead they enjoyed
scoring some points. They had only scored a total of 8 points in their
previous 14 matches combined, including just two tries, so to claim eight in
total was a good effort considering. |
