Match Report – Castleford 0 – 22 Wigan

Wigan Warriors injected life into their flagging Super League play-off push with a 22-0 victory away to Castleford Tigers in Monday’s match at the Mend-A-Hose Jungle.

Player of the match Jackson Hastings broke Wigan’s try-scoring drought inside the opening quarter of an hour with a score converted by Harry Smith, and that proved enough to give the visitors a 6-0 lead at half-time.

Castleford were not helped by Jesse Sene-Lefao being sin-binned for a high tackle on Joe Bullock, while the Warriors had Liam Byrne shown a yellow card early in the second half too.

But Liam Marshall’s try after intercepting and racing the length of the field, plus further scores from Oliver Gildart and Brad Singleton helped end a run of three straight losses and deal a blow to the Tigers’ own play-off ambitions.
