Holders Warrington Wolves will return to Wembley on 28 August after storming to a dazzling nine-try Challenge Cup semi-final win over Catalans Dragons. The French side, beaten finalists in 2007, had beaten Warrington 29-28 in Perpignan a fortnight ago and came into this match with high hopes, however the writing was on the wall within 12 minutes.

4 tries to 1 in the first period saw Warrington out to a 24-6 half-time lead. The second period and it got worse for the French outfit as Warrington ran in 5 tries to their one, to give us the final score of:

Warrington 54-12 Catalans Dragons
