WARRINGTON Wolves Women are through to the Challenge Cup quarter finals.
Bryony Coombs, Amy Daniels and Georgia Sutherland each bagged a brace of tries as Huddersfield Giants were convincingly overhauled 38-12 at sun-drenched Victoria Park on Sunday.
Danielle Bound and Samantha Simpson also crossed, while skipper Michelle Davis marked her first appearance of the season with three conversions.

Giants, who are contesting their first season of Super League along with The Wire following promotions in 2019, were put to the sword from the start and Lee Westwood's side led 22-6 at the break.
Danielle Bound paved the way for the first of Coombs' touch downs in the 10th minute.
Midway through the first half Daniels and Sutherland each opened their account as The Wire took control of the contest.
A galloping Sutherland extended the lead further with her second, and Daniels notched again too as Warrington moved 22-0 clear.

If they thought the game was over though, they needed to think again as the visitors hauled themselves back into the tie with converted tries from Bethan Oates and Amelia Brown either side of the interval.
Huddersfield's renewed hopes were quashed just three minutes later though when Bound got The Wire back on track.
Fellow experienced England international Simpson made sure the outcome was safe with a scoot from dummy half.
Coombs’ second of the afternoon came with only a minute remaining to put the seal on a satisfying afternoon's work.
The quarter-final draw takes place on Wednesday at 5pm.
The Wire's next Women's Super League game is at home to St Helens on May 16.
