Warrington Wolves into Challenge Cup semi-finals

Warrington into semi-finals

Warrington Wolves have advanced into the semi-finals of the Challenge Cup following a 46-10 victory over Bradford Bulls on Sunday.

Warrington lost out in last year's semi-finals to Hull FC, but they will have the chance to put that right following victory at the Provident Stadium.

The visitors opened the scoring after 15 minutes with a try from Richie Myler and a kick from Chris Bridge, allowing the Wolves to move ahead in the match.

Bradford's Elliot Kear responded with a try four minutes later, but the resulting kick was missed, leaving Warrington with a 6-4 lead after 19 minutes of the quarter-final.

Warrington took control as the half progressed, with Ryan Atkins and Matthew Russell adding two more tries within three minutes, and Bridge's second and third conversions made it 18-4 at the interval.

Bradford made it a 10-point game in the early stages of the second period, however, with a try from Luke George followed by a kick from Luke Gale.

Warrington responded with a quick six points of their own, however, courtesy of a try from Gene Ormsby and Bridge's fourth conversion of the match.

The score became 30-10 in favour of Warrington after 64 minutes when Bridge's fifth kick of the match followed Myler's second try, with Bradford struggling to make their mark.

Bridge's sixth kick of the match arrived just two minutes later, with Joel Monaghan going over for his first try moments before to leave Warrington 36-10 ahead with little over 10 minutes remaining.

Monaghan's second try of the afternoon further extended Warrington's lead, before Bridge's exceptional kicking continued to make it a 32-point game late on.

There was time for Ben Currie to register his first try of the match, however, with Warrington eventually running out 46-10 winners.
