Pre-match Quotes
Speaking ahead of Sunday’s game, Wigan’s Eva Hunter said: “I’ve only played against Leeds Academy so I’m not sure exactly what to expect but I can imagine it will definitely be a physical game.
“I think a good home crowd will really encourage everyone after our last home performance against Huddersfield in the Challenge Cup Quarter Final.”
