Women’s Super League: Anna Davies stars as Wigan beat Barrow to reach the top flight

Davies opened the scoring for Wigan after 15 minutes and Banks added her second two minutes later, Isobel Rowe converting both to make it 12-0.

Davies’ second came shortly after the half-hour when he crossed in the corner and completed his hat-trick with an interception before Rowe converted again to put the visitors 22-0 up at the break.

Wigan extended their lead in the first minute of the second half when Singleton crossed from close range.

Barrow got on the scoresheet in the 55th minute when an Emma Hutchinson break sent Jodie Morley crashing over, Jodie Litherland landing the extras to make it 28-6.

But Wigan responded strongly when Hilton crossed before Davies grabbed his fourth and fifth tries of the afternoon to extend their lead.

Casey added Wigan’s ninth and final try on 72 minutes to secure a comfortable victory.
