Monday, 31 July 2017 07:00

Wigan Warriors have made it to the Challenge Cup final following a thrilling victory over Salford.

They will face Hull FC at Wembley on 26 August.

Warriors raced into a 12-0 lead with scores from Oliver Gildart and Willie Isa, and two George Williams goals.

Salford hit back to lead at half-time through Michael Dobson's penalty after Greg Johnson and Tyrone McCarthy tries.

Williams' penalty levelled the semi-final before Michael McIlorum's score, Sam Tomkins' drop-goal and Gildart's late second try sent Wigan to Wembley.

It will be the Cherry and Whites' 31st Challenge Cup final and a repeat of their last visit to the stadium in 2013 when they ran out 16-0 winners over the Airlie Birds.
