 Tetley's Challenge Cup holders Warrington and Super League leaders Wigan were kept apart when the semi-final draw was made. Warrington are looking for a return to Wembley The Wolves, who are bidding for a fourth Wembley victory in five years, will take on Hull while Super League strugglers London Broncos will meet Wigan who overpowered Widnes 48-4 on Monday night.
The draw was made by former Wigan favourite Henderson Gill and ex-Warrington winger Des Drummond at the Halliwell Jones Stadium following the Wolves' emphatic 44-24 victory over Huddersfield.
Hull, who were 24-13 winners over Catalan Dragons in Perpignan, were the last away team to win at the Halliwell Jones Stadium after they triumphed 22-16 over Warrington in Super League in May.
Warrington coach Tony Smith insisted he took no pleasure from avoiding Wigan in the last four.
"It didn't really matter who we drew," Smith said. "That's doing a dis-service to Hull.
"They are a good team and we've had some really good battles with them this year. We've had a draw and a loss so far."
Smith hopes to have England scrum-half Richie Myler back for the semi-final, which will be played on the weekend of July 27-28, but centre Ryan Atkins will miss the August 24 final if the Wolves get there after his ankle injury was discovered to be more serious than initially thought.
"Atkins is out for about eight weeks," Smith said. "We might get him back for the last round of the regular season.
"We thought he might only be a week or two but when they had a look at it, he's had some prior damage there and they needed to operate."
London, who beat Sheffield Eagles 29-10 on Friday night, are hoping to reach their second Wembley final after losing to Leeds in 1999.
They have conceded the double to Wigan in Super League this year and lost at home to Widnes in the opening match of the season.
Tetley's Challenge Cup semi-final draw:

Hull FC v Warrington Wolves

 HULL FC v WIGAN WARRIORSI fully expect Wigan Warriors to beat Hull FC on Saturday down at Wembley Stadium The Warriors are best priced at 2/5 with Hull FC on offer at 5/2 I have backed Wigan -8 @ 11/10 with Ladbrokes and I think this is good value. But my best bet for Saturday is the man-of-the-match award I will be backing the ex Salford City Reds player Daniel Holdsworth even though in my opinion he will end up on the losing side on his day 'DJ' is a class act and on this stage I'm sure he will shine. ** COME ON THE PIES ** |
