WARRINGTON Wolves are into the Challenge Cup semi finals.

The Wire kept up their record of reaching the last four in each of Steve Price's seasons in charge with a dogged, determined win over Catalans Dragons.

As with the Super League success in Perpignan, their defence was mightily impressive as they made light of losing Stefan Ratchford in the warm-up to a groin injury.

Two first-half Daryl Clark tries proved enough, with Gareth Widdop adding four goals.

Catalans put The Wire under huge pressure in the second half but could not manage more than a Mike McMeeken try.
