Handicap was too great - Sun beaten after taking the lead

Crossing over at half time with a 3-2 lead, Sun had a very good reason for ending the game with a two goal deficit.
They played throughout the second half with O'Sullivan a passenger with a pulled muscle.
Play was brisk throughout.
The Saints took the lead in the fifteenth minute through Carey, but seconds later Williams equalised.
The boot was on the other foot soon afterwards, when Williams again found the net.
Two minutes before the interval Duggan equalised, but attacking straight from the restart, Sun forced a corner from which McDonald eventually scored.
St Helens were the more aggressive side in the second half and goals from Carey (2), and Quinlan gave them victory.
