Wigan 28-18 leeds
It was a very exciting, funny, stressful and emotional day on Saturday when Wigan went to the new Wembley stadium and beat Leeds in a close game.
I put on my 20 year old Joe lydon/Eastern Suburbs top and drove up to Hilton Park to meet Mike and Catherine with Ros and Jane...and jumped in the Discovery to travel in style to Wembley. Mike had booked parking next door to the stadium.
Wigan got off to a great start but Leeds came back and we were convinced they were going to beat us. It was very tense in the second half.... the celebrations at the end were a mixture of relief and joy.
We stayed on with thousands of Wigan fans to watch them walk round with the cup.... Michael Maguire looked emotional.
We drove back to Hilton Park and I picked up my car and drove home.
It was great to be there....with my Wigan crew. x
