Saints are the ‘Derby’ Winners…

This year’s traditional local Easter derby game was played on ‘Maundy Thursday’ instead of ‘Good Friday’ at the newly named DW Stadium (JJB Stadium), home of Wigan Warriors.

A true grit game and evenly matched at times which showed in the half time score of 6-6; but Saints were the game winners, which gave them top position in the league table! For full match report Click Here.
