Warrington Wolves defeated Hull KR 34-28 in their rearranged Super League fixture at Craven Park, moving to within two points of leaders Leeds and Wigan. Hull KR led 14-10 at half-time, but Warrington dominated much of the second half, with tries from Toafofa Sipley, Liam Byrne, George Williams and Albert Hopoate securing the win. Mikey Lewis scored on his return from a four-match suspension but was later sin-binned for dangerous contact with kicker Ewan Irwin. Warrington coach Sam Burgess praised his side's physicality and resilience, while Hull KR coach Willie Peters criticized his team's defensive errors.

Warrington Wolves host Hull KR in a rearranged Super League fixture that could move Warrington four points clear in third place or allow Hull KR to draw level in the play-off race. Warrington coach Sam Burgess is simplifying training and recovery during a congested schedule, while Hull KR coach Willie Peters plans to restore Mikey Lewis after his four-match suspension for a headbutt and tackle. Peters says Lewis has benefited from the enforced break and must show greater calm and composure, although Ryan Hampshire is praised for helping Hull KR win all four matches during Lewis's absence.

Luke Littler has won five major darts titles in 2026, including the World Matchplay, and is pursuing a clean sweep of the season's major tournaments. He still needs to qualify for the Players Championship Finals, requiring a strong finish in the remaining Pro Tour events, before defending titles at the World Series of Darts Finals, World Grand Prix, Grand Slam and Players Championship Finals. The final opportunity is the World Championship at Alexandra Palace, where a third consecutive title would complete an extraordinary season and match a feat last achieved by Phil Taylor in 2006.

Luke Littler advanced to the World Matchplay quarter‑finals after an 11-8 win over Nathan Aspinall, highlighted by a nine-darter and a near second perfect leg. Holding several major titles, Littler remains focused on consistency while acknowledging he is far from matching Phil Taylor’s record for all‑time greatness. Aspinall praised the match as the best of his career despite the loss. Upcoming fixtures continue in Blackpool with several high‑profile clashes scheduled.
