Hlaf time at Wembley: Hull 12 Wigan 10

Wigan Warriors' fans celebrate their sides first try during the Ladbrokes Challenge Cup Final

John Bateman gave Wigan a dream start with a fifth-minute try, after Thomas Leuluai’s clearing kick took a fortuitous bounce.

But Hull FC took a 12-6 lead by the end of the first quarter after tries from wingers Fetuli Talanoa and Mahe Fonua - both from kicks. Marc Sneyd converted both.

Wigan finished the half strongly and, after a mistake by Carlos Tuimavave, Oliver Gildart swept over to reel in Hull’s lead to just two points.
