The draw for the final four teams in the competition was made at the DIY Kitchens Stadium at half-time of the last quarter-final between Wakefield Trinity and Wigan Warriors. St.Helens were drawn against the winners of the Trinity\/Warriors clash, and it was Wigan who edged past the West Yorkshire side, 22-26.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s an exciting match-up, as all Saints\/Wigan meetings are, but to the victor will go the spoils as the victor will progress into the Betfred Challenge Cup Final at Wembley Stadium on Saturday, 30th May.<\/p>\n
The full fixture details, including the date, venue, and tickets, will be confirmed in due course.<\/p>\n
OUR CUP JOURNEY SO FAR\u2026<\/b><\/p>\n
St.Helens\u2019 run in the Challenge Cup began in early February in the Third Round, with a long trip up to Workington Town for our first meeting with the Cumbrian team in 30 years. It was a dominant victory over Town, 2-98, with 17 tries scored.<\/p>\n
Another away trip followed in the Fourth Round, this time to Castleford to take on the Tigers, and the Saints were gritty to earn an 8-32 victory at The Jungle.<\/p>\n
In the Quarters, Paul Rowley\u2019s men welcomed Catalans Dragons to the BrewDog Stadium and put on a professional performance to win 36-4 and earn a spot in the final four.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The draw for the final four teams in the competition was made at the DIY Kitchens Stadium at…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":889668,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[4102],"tags":[45789,218457,5013,218461,4151,30101,79,16,15,19256,1287,207172],"class_list":["post-889667","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-rugby","tag-45789","tag-2026-challenge-cup","tag-challenge-cup","tag-challenge-cup-2026","tag-rugby","tag-semi-final","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-warriors","tag-wigan","tag-wigan-warriors"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116393442467526913","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/889667","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=889667"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/889667\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/889668"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=889667"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=889667"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=889667"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
