0

WARRINGTON Wolves’ prize for their win away at Catalans on Saturday is a Challenge Cup quarter-final tie away at Wigan Warriors.

It is the fifth time in seven seasons that Warrington will face Wigan in the Challenge Cup, with the tie to be played on the weekend June 16-18.

Wigan ended Warrington’s perfect start to the Super League season with a 13-6 win at the Halliwell Jones Stadium last month, and they are currently the top two teams in the league.

Matty Ashton’s late try pinched a 16-14 win for Warrington at the Stade Gilbert Brutus, the second time they have won in France already this season.

Meanwhile, Wigan fought back to beat Leeds 18-14 live on BBC on Saturday afternoon.

All four quarter-finals are due to be televised, with the Wigan-Warrington clash almost certain to be live on BBC.

In the other three tries, St Helens travel to Hull FC while Hull KR host Salford.

The only remaining Championship side left in the competition York welcome Leigh Leopards.
