In a thrilling and nail-biting clash between St Helens and Wigan, the Saints emerged victorious with a 12-4 win over the 12-man Warriors.

Tommy Makinson and Konrad Hurrell were the heroes of the match, scoring late tries to seal the deal.

From the get-go, it was a close and contentious affair, with Mark Percival's penalty giving the Saints a slim 2-0 lead at half-time.

Wigan showed their grit and determination when Bevan French pulled off a remarkable kick-and-chase try to put them ahead after 55 minutes.

However, the game took a dramatic turn when Liam Byrne was shown a red card for a high challenge on Percival in the 64th minute.

With Wigan down to 12 men, the Saints capitalized on their numerical advantage and crossed the try line twice to snatch the win.

Wigan, who were aiming for a record-breaking 16th straight Super League victory, found themselves on the back foot for almost half an hour in the annual Good Friday clash against their rivals.

It was a tough and hard-fought battle, but in the end, the Saints proved too strong for the Warriors.
