Preview: Coral Challenge Cup Final

Saints face Warrington Wolves in the Coral Challenge Cup at Wembley on Saturday with kick off at 3pm and we have the low-down on and off the pitch right here in our match preview.

The Stats:

Saturday’s meeting between Saints and Warrington will be the first meeting between the two sides in a major final. We are aiming to lift the Challenge Cup for the 13th time in our history and for the first time in 11 years.

Our last appearance at Wembley saw us lift the trophy back in 2008, following a 28-16 win over Hull FC. The Wolves appeared at Wembley last year, losing 20-14 to the Catalans Dragons.

This will be the fourth meeting between the two sides so far this season. A 38-12 win at the Totally Wicked Stadium for the Saints back in April saw us grab bragging rights early on in the campaign. Since then, we have also won twice at the Halliwell Jones Stadium, a 21-10 win a few months ago, was followed up by a 30-12 win there just over a fortnight ago.

Can we make it four from four when it really matters on Saturday?
