Summary:l

This would prove to be Wigan's final match at the Prescott Street ground. They would leave to move to Springfield Park for the following season before playing at Central Park from September 1902. Wigan trailed 2-0 at half time but hadn't played that bad with three missed penalty goal attempts from Joe Nelson. In the second half, Jack Brown had a shot at goal which made it 2-2 before Nelson kicked one later for 4-2. The match was only settled in the last minute when George Rigby scored a try than Nelson converted to complete the 9-2 win. 3,000 attended this last match at Prescott Street.
