ACADEMY GRAND FINAL
DAVE PARKINSON
Totally Wicked Stadium, Sunday
ST HELENS 22
WARRINGTON WOLVES 6
ST HELENS are Academy champions following a hardfought win against a committed Warrington side in an errorstrewn match.
Conditions weren’t conducive to a flowing game with rain and difficult underfoot conditions causing problems for both sides.
But in halfback Harry Robertson, Saints had that bit of poise and class to help get them home.
The Wolves were handed a Grand Final berth after Wigan were axed for making twelve rather than the eight permitted interchanges in a close-run semi-final between the sides.
