Wolves on way to WEMBLEY

SNEYD SPOT ON AFTER EYE INJURY RECOVERY

- By MARK STANIFORTH

MARC Sneyd sealed a stunning return from a fractured eye socket by kicking nine of his side’s points as Warrington sealed a swift return to Wembley with a 21-14 win over Leigh in their Betfred Challenge Cup semi-final at sun-baked St Helens.

Sneyd, who sustained the injury against Saints just a fortnight ago and subsequently underwent surgery, was a surprise starter for Sam Burgess’ side who shrugged off a shocking start to canter to victory and set up a June final clash against Hull KR.

Edwin Ipape charged down Sneyd’s kick to barge over for the Leopards with less than a minute gone, but tries from Rodrick Tai and Paul Vaughan swung the momentum in Warrington’s direction and Toby King’s effort in the corner with 15 minutes remaining all but ended Leigh’s gallant resistance.
