Zach Eckersley doubles up as Wigan edge out Wakefield in thriller

• Quarter-final: Wakefield 22-26 Wigan

• Warriors to meet St Helens in Challenge Cup last four

Wigan Warriors survived an attritional Challenge Cup quarter-final against Wakefield Trinity to set up a mouthwatering semi-final showdown with their great rivals St Helens next month.

Having suffered the rare of occurrence of back-to-back defeats coming into the standout tie of the quarter-finals, there was a fair argument that Wigan travelled across the Pennines as underdogs against a Wakefield side who are threatening to become a major force in Super League.
