HULL 18-32 ST HELENS: Josh Griffin's moment of madness cost Hull dear as the St Helens advanced to the Challenge Cup semi-finals, resulting in a thrilling match involving casualties on both directions. Griffin knocked out a penalty to Saints moments earlier, resulting in a score of 12-12 as the halftime hooter sounded. Kendall gave the second-rower a yellow card for opposition, but he was shown a red when Griffin protested the sinbinning.

In a dramatic semi-final at the Totally Wicked Stadium, St Helens will face Leeds in the Grand Final after two tries in five minutes from second rower Joe Batchelor, the defending Super League champions, to a 19-12 victory over Salford. Saints saw off a spirited comeback by the Red Devils, who had trailed 12-0 after 16 minutes, victory that would give them the opportunity to fire popular coach Kristian Woolf from the top at Old Trafford next Saturday evening. In a repeat of the 2011 decider, where Leeds won 32-16, the Saints will be looking to win in their fourth straight Grand Final victory.
