Saturday saw the Wigan Warriors Community Foundation host an amazing fan day for the fans to meet the entire first team squad and have a picture with the two trophies before the Challenge Cup returns to the RFL later this month.
The day's main event saw a huge crowd turnout to watch the clash of the Wigan and Castleford U16's with fans getting the chance to see some of the young stars that in years to will get a huge step up to the first team.
A mixed start saw Wigan go in front with a nice try from Cameron Connolly which was converted by Craig Mullen for a 6-0 lead, a lead that soon became 12-0 when Callum Field crossed for the hosts and Mullen was on hand to convert for a second time.
Castleford battled back and levelled the tie with two quick tries from Jack Ray and Max Field with both converted well by Harley Axe but Wigan were unfazed and went into the interval ahead after a double from Brad Moffatt with Mullen converting one from two attempts for a half-time lead of 22-12.
Wigan began the second period in the same vain as they ended the first with a nice try as Lewis Heckford crossed with Mullen converting for 28-12 before Jack Mead scored in the 43rd minute with Mullen missing the conversion but seeing his side now lead 32-12.
Mead claimed his second score just five minutes later but Mullen's problems continued at a score of 36-12 but the game seemed over as contest when James Barran scored for the hosts and despite another miss from Mullen the sides were separated by 28 points at 40-12.
Mullen's confidence returned as he scored a try of his own in the 56th minute with Ben Fisher taking over the kicking duties to good effect at 46-12 before Mead added two more in the space of six minutes with Fisher converting one from two for a huge 56-12 lead.
The game ended with a second try from Callum Field with Fisher rounding off the scoring with his third conversion for a stunning 62-12 win.
