In the upcoming Wheelchair Challenge Cup final, Wigan Warriors are gearing up for another underdog victory. Fresh from surprising triumphs in the Super League last year, they’ve maintained their winning streak by defeating tough opponents like Halifax and Leeds in this season’s playoffs. Now, they’re eyeing their first Challenge Cup victory, facing off against Catalans this Saturday.
Despite facing formidable opponents, Wigan remains undeterred. Player Jack Heggie emphasizes their readiness for the challenge, citing their previous victories against tough teams like Leeds. While acknowledging the strength of Catalans, Heggie and the Warriors are determined to prove themselves once again, showcasing their resilience and tactical prowess on the field.

With a fully available squad and the experience gained from previous matches, they aim to approach the final with confidence and execute their game plan effectively.
For Wigan, this final represents more than just another match—it’s an opportunity to secure their second major wheelchair trophy. Heggie emphasizes their consistency and ability to perform under pressure, dispelling any notions of their previous victories being flukes. With full team availability and tactical acumen, Wigan is poised to rewrite history and clinch another remarkable win in the Wheelchair Challenge Cup final.
