Gallery: 2011 & 2013 Cup Finals

[Warriors News]

We are going to go back into the photo archives for one last time as we relive our success in the competition. 

We look back on our most recent two wins at Wembley as we lifted the Challenge Cup Trophy in 2011 before going onto lift it in the double-winning year of 2013. In 2011, Wigan got the better of Leeds and can be remembered by a Tomkins to Tomkins pass in one of the fine Wembley tries.

Our last Challenge Cup Trophy came in 2013 where we came away with a 16-0 win over Hull FC to take home the silverware.

2011

2011 Won (v Leeds, 28-18) (at Wembley Stadium).
