Quarter-final: Warrington 20-18 St HelensJosh Charnley double puts Wolves into semi-finalsWarrington kept their hopes of retaining the Challenge Cup alive after eliminating the Super League champions, St Helens, in a high-quality quarter-final. They always seem to save their best performances for rugby league’s flagship competition, as evidenced by last year’s final, when they were underdogs against St Helens but defeated them at Wembley.
They were again underdogs here, but put paid to the Saints’ hopes of wining the cup for the first time since 2008. Josh Charnley’s second-half try was ultimately the difference but the game was not settled until a frantic final few seconds, when Saints applied enormous pressure on Warrington to no avail.
