Powell try earns Wigan the win

Wigan Warriors 6-4 Castleford Tigers

Sam Powell scored the only try of the game as Wigan Warriors edged out Castleford Tigers 6-4 in poor conditions to gain revenge from their defeat on the road earlier this month.

This was not the high-scoring thriller witnessed in West Yorkshire, but it was full of effort and intensity.

repoThe Tigers led 4-0 at the break thanks to two Peter Mata'utia penalties in a less than thrilling half with very few chances.

Castleford dominated the opening stages without creating too many chances as Wigan struggled to launch any attacks of their own.

The only try of the game came after 53 minutes when Powell decided to go from dummy half and caught the Tigers defence napping to make it back-to-back wins for the defending champions.
