Memorable derby wins at Saints
As the second derby of the season takes place on Friday night, we take a look back at three memorable victories over St Helens away from home.
Warriors will be aiming to complete a league double over rivals Saints at the Totally Wicked Stadium on Friday night, after Harry Smith scored 10 points to earn a 14-6 victory at the DW Stadium on Good Friday.
Matt Peet’s side are seeking a first win at Saints since 2020, when Bevan French scored one of three tries in a dominant second half showing as Wigan won 18-6.
We take a look back at three memorable Super League victories over Saints away from home:
St Helens 10-28 Wigan, 6 April 2012
Having claimed bragging rights in the final derby clash at Knowsley Road in 2010, the Warriors crossed for five tries to win the first battle between the rivals at Langtree Park.
Darrell Goulding, George Carmont, Sam Tomkins, Gareth Hock and Jeff Lima scored tries, as Josh Charnley added eight points from the tee.
St Helens 14-33 Wigan, 18 April 2014
Yet another memorable Good Friday victory was ensured after Liam Farrell scored in either half to end St Helens’ perfect start to the season.
Saints failed to lead at any point in the contest, as Sean O’Loughlin, Dan Sarginson and Joe Burgess also scored tries for the reigning Champions.
Matty Smith maintained a 100 per cent kicking accuracy throughout, as he slotted six goals and a drop goal in the sunshine.
St Helens 10-30 Wigan, 31 August 2018
The Warriors recorded an emphatic derby win on Shaun Wane’s final visit to St Helens as coach.
Wigan led 14-4 at the break after tries from Sarginson (x2) and John Bateman, before Tom Davies, Oliver Gildart and O’Loughlin extended the advantage in the second half.
The Cherry and Whites went on to be crowned Super League champions six weeks later, after defeating Warrington Wolves in the Grand Final at Old Trafford.
