Warrington Lose 17-12 at Salford After Late Penalty Try

In a thrilling Betfred Super League clash on Saturday afternoon, Salford Red Devils secured a dramatic 17-12 victory over Warrington Wolves with a late penalty try. The win saw Salford climb up to sixth place in the table, while Warrington remains two points behind the league leaders, St Helens and Catalans Dragons.

The match was a tight and tense affair, with both teams making mistakes throughout. The game was deadlocked until the 72nd minute when Danny Walker’s tackle on Ryan Brierley prevented him from grounding Nene MacDonald’s chipped kick, resulting in a penalty try for Salford and sealing the victory for the Red Devils.

Before the decisive moment, the match had been neck and neck, with Salford taking the lead through Tim Lafai’s early try, only for Warrington to turn the game around with tries from James Harrison and George Williams. However, Joe Mellor’s try for Salford leveled the scores at the half-hour mark.

The second half saw both teams fighting hard for the win, with Stefan Ratchford’s penalty giving Warrington a narrow lead before the late penalty try swung the game in Salford’s favor. Despite a valiant effort from both sides, Salford held on for the win.
