Match Report – Wigan 32 – 22 Castleford

Wigan full-back Jai Field scored one try and set up another as the hosts returned to winning ways in the Betfred Super League; Liam Farrell (2), Ethan Havard and Zak Hardaker also crossed; Cas had hopes of a comeback snuffed out by Brad Martin’s red card

Jai Field starred in Wigan’s win over Castleford

Jai Field celebrated being named as the Betfred Super League’s player of the month with a starring role as Wigan Warriors overcame Castleford Tigers 32-22 in a thriller at the DW Stadium.

Tries from Zak Hardaker and Liam Farrell ensured the Warriors led at the break, but Greg Eden’s fifth of the season after Gareth O’Brien had kicked the Tigers ahead ensured the visitors were still within four points at half-time although temporarily a man down after Mahe Fonua’s yellow card.

The game burst into life after the break though, with a superb solo try from Field sandwiched by Ethan Havard’s first of the season and Farrell’s second of the night to put the Warriors 22 points clear.

However, Castleford mounted a stirring fightback with tries from George Griffin, Jake Trueman and Jake Mamo – only for Brad Martin being sent off for a high tackle with seven minutes to go to end any realistic hope of victory.
