On Saturday, Wigan Warriors became the first club to win the Men’s Challenge Cup and Women’s Challenge Cup at Wembley on the same day.
The Warriors Women retained the Challenge Cup thanks to a dominant 54-6 win over rivals St Helens, with Denis Betts’ side having lifted the trophy for the first time last year. Matt Peet’s men then eased past Hull KR 40-10 in the Wembley heat, wrapping up a historic Cup double for the club. Let’s take a look at some of the player stats, shall we?
