IN a very intense affair, the Wigan team took the spoils and took an early 12-0 lead as the home side went to sleep.

Once the Bears woke up they took a good grip on the game and pulled back to 12-10 through two tries for Faye Gaskin, both well created and finished.

In the second half there wasn't much between the sides and the next score was likely to give the side the initiative.

That unfortunately went to the Judes after a few missed one-on-one tackles led to two tries but the bank came back with a well taken try from man of the match Paul Carter with time running out.

The home side pushed and pushed but the Jude's held out in a very skilful and entertaining game.

West Bank: A Bate, C Walsh, K O'Brien, F Gaskin, M Middlehurst, C Ellis, D Hutton, P Naughton, T Heaton, L Myler, P Carter, J Halpen, J Sumner.
