The first 40 minutes in this tense semi-final saw the teams into half time at Wigan 6-2 St. Helens, thanks to a try from Carmont, following the James Foster penalty which saw Saints lead for the only time in the match.
The second period and with Josh Charnley and Sam Tomkins going over for Wigan they were out to 18-2 and looking certain for that final. But you write off St. Helens at your peril and they came storming back into the game thanks to two James Foster tries in the last 20 minutes which he converted to bring us the final score of:
Wigan Warriors 18-12 St Helens
