Wigan stayed top of Women’s Super League as they fought back to draw with closest challengers St Helens in a thrilling top-of-the-table contest.
Eva Hunter’s late try helped Warriors to a 22-22 draw, which extended their unbeaten start to the season.
It keeps the leaders one point ahead of second-placed Saints, who narrowly failed to avenge their Challenge Cup final hammering at the hands of Wigan.
Elsewhere on Sunday, York Valkyrie moved back above Leeds into third with a 70-0 demolition of winless Warrington, while Huddersfield kept pace with the top four with a 32-12 win at second-bottom Barrow.
Warriors had hammered Saints 42-6 in a one-sided Wembley final just three weeks earlier, but this meeting of the division’s two remaining unbeaten sides proved a real arm-wrestle.
Dani McGifford and Chantelle Crowl put Saints 12-0 up early on before Georgia Wilson halved the deficit, but Vicky Whitfield gave the visitors a third try to go in 16-6 up at the interval.
Wigan hit back through Grace Banks and Anna Davies to level before the midway point of the second half, but Luci McColm kicked a penalty and then went over with 12 minutes left to restore Saints’ six-point lead.
Back came the Warriors though, as Hunter raced in and Isabel Rowe’s goal made it all square before Rowe’s late attempt at a drop goal fell short.
