St Helens captain Jon Wilkin handed one-match ban

St Helens captain Jon Wilkin is banned for one match following an incident in Saturday's Challenge Cup win over York.

St Helens captain Jon Wilkin has been handed a one-match ban following an incident that took place in his side's Challenge Cup match against York last weekend.

Wilkin admitted a Grade B charge of recklessly striking winger Adam Dent during the sixth-round match, which St Helens went on to win 46-6 to reach the quarter-finals.

The 31-year-old will now miss his side's visit to Hull FC on Friday night as the Saints look to close the gap on Super League leaders Leeds Rhinos.

Catalans Dragons forward Jeff Lima has also been suspended for four matches following his red card in the 37-34 victory over Featherstone Rovers.

Lima was dismissed for a shoulder charge on Remy Marginet just a month after receiving a separate two-game ban for a dangerous tackle.

The disciplinary body also handed a one-game ban to Wakefield Wildcats prop Mickael Simon for striking Leigh Centurions stand-off Martyn Ridyard during the Championship outfit's shock victory in the Challenge Cup.
