FANS and players give their thoughts on Friday’s Challenge Cup victory over Widnes and the subsequent semi-final draw, which pitches Wolves against Wakefield Trinity Wildcats.

From warringtonguardian.co.uk:

ElWireth66: proper cup tie, wire will have to improve to progress from the semis. well done widnes for an excellent contest. now the wire!

Muckerman: Even more of a nerve jangler without the clock working! (couldn't work out the on screen clock from where I was) Well done Widnes.

From Facebook:

Hayley Green: Oh my days. That had to be the most intense, exciting, scary, horrible game I have watched. My little heart couldn't take it anymore. The relief when that final whistle went. My apologies to the random girl who's hand I held at the end lol.

Matthew Smith: Glad we're through but we made very hard work of beating an enthusiastic but limited widnes outfit at home. By 2

Andrea Ryder: Think it should be a good semi and hopefully we play Wigan in the final and win 💙💛

Steve Algie: Lets hope the real team show up to the semi final unlike last year against HKR

John Knox: No team in semis are gonna be a walkover. But at least we are in the semis.
