Story summary

Warrington Wolves edged past Leeds Rhinos in a thrilling semi-final match of the Betfred Super League to secure their spot in the Grand Final for the first time since 2015. The game ended with Warrington narrowly winning 14-12 at AMT Headingley Stadium after both teams traded two tries each by halftime, finishing level at 12-12. A contentious penalty goal by young player Ewan Irwin in the second half gave Warrington a crucial lead they managed to hold onto until the end.

Jake Connor scored all ten points for an injury-hit Leeds team but his last-minute attempt from 62 meters fell short. The victory puts Warrington one win away from their first league title since 1955, as they will face either Wigan Warriors or Wakefield Trinity in the Grand Final at Old Trafford next Saturday.
