On This Day: Drop goal drama in the Challenge Cup – 2014!

Each day whilst we are all in Lockdown this week we will recall a famous match from the current day thanks to Saints Heritage Society.

6 APRIL – 2014

Challenge Cup Round 4: Huddersfield 16-17 St Helens.

Once again we come back to a classic in the Challenge Cup as Super League leaders St.Helens beat 12-man Huddersfield 17-16 in a controversial fourth-round tie back in 2014 at the John Smith’s Stadium.

With the scores level at 16-16, Danny Brough’s drop-goal attempt was ruled out by referee Phil Bentham who deemed that the kick had sailed wide.

Seconds later, former Saints Luke Walsh kicked a one-pointer at the other end of the field to send Saints through! What drama!
