Wakefield Trinity secured a hard-fought 24-14 victory over Leeds Rhinos in a dramatic West Yorkshire derby, while Wigan Warriors dominated Bradford Bulls 30-6 in the Challenge Cup. The Wakefield match faced a lengthy delay due to a power failure at the DIY Kitchens Stadium before Harvey Smith opened the scoring.

Leeds responded with tries from Maika Sivo and Ash Handley, but Oliver Pratt's last-second score before halftime narrowed the gap. Matty Storton and Ky Rodwell's second-half tries sealed the win for Wakefield, who advanced to the quarter-finals for the second consecutive season. Leeds have now failed to reach the last eight since their 2020 Challenge Cup triumph.

Wigan made short work of Bradford, with Luke Thompson, Zach Eckersley, Liam Marshall, and Adam Keighran all crossing in the first half. Ethan Ryan's try offered Bradford brief hope, but Dajon Sambou's debut score completed the rout. The Super League leaders Wigan's dominant display underscored their championship credentials as they marched into the next round.
