BULLS ACADEMY IN WIGAN DEFEAT

Bradford Bulls Academy fell to a 40-18 defeat against Wigan Warriors in their final game of the 2021 season.

The home side took the lead on eight minutes when a Wigan winger broke from halfway before diving over despite the best efforts of Daniel McGrath.

The other Wigan winger then got in on the act minutes later, when a neat move between hands set him free on the left flank. 

Despite suspicions of a knock on, the home side extended their lead soon after before a fourth score – and second for the right winger. 

The left winger then got his second try of the afternoon soon after the break, stepping past two would-be defenders. 

A sixth Wigan try then came before Bradford’s first – Charlie Barrett racing down the left flank to touch down, evading Wigan defenders en route. 

George Flanagan Junior, on his Academy debut, then bamboozled the Wigan defence with a dummy to dive over. 

The home side registered a further score before Joe Burton swatted away three Wigan defenders for the game’s final try.
