Second-half tries from Fanitesi Niu and Bailey Hodgson helped Leigh Leopards through to the semi-finals of the Challenge Cup after a 20-12 victory over Wakefield Trinity.

Lachlan Lam's try put the visitors 6-0 up at the break before two quick tries after the interval from Matty Russell and Josh Rourke turned the game around to put Trinity 12-6 ahead.

But Rourke's knock-on led to Niu's try to bring Leigh level, before Gareth O'Brien kicked a penalty to put them ahead.

Wakefield again lost possession cheaply and Hodgson pounced to score the decisive try and send Leigh through.
