On another note, Wigan and Saints will now face each other at Wembley for the first time in the women's cup final (got my tickets). I would have had significant worries over this game in recent seasons but, given the manner of Wigan's victory over Leeds on Saturday, I am now thinking this will be competitive, though Saints will deservedly start as favourites. Great progress thus far under Denis Betts and hopefully this will see the big three become a big four in the women's game.
Saw something the other day on facebook that the old Edge Hall Road training facility has finished being renovated now and will be open soon for both Latics and Wigan RL's women to use. Seems Danson is investing in Women's sport and we are starting to see the pay off from that now with the Women's first team, it was a very convincing performance from the Wigan Women on Saturday, much sharper and more organised than when i have caught their games previously.
Hopefully now they are getting full use of their new training facilities we will see them progress further over the next few years.
