Warrington Wolves moved up to fourth in the Betfred Super League table after recovering from a lacklustre start to claim a comprehensive 48-18 win at Castleford Tigers .

Having lost four of their last six matches, including three in a row on the road, Warrington were made to pay for an error-strewn first 20 minutes as the Tigers went 16-6 ahead at the OneBore Stadium.

But Matty Ashton, Toby King and Toafofoa Sipley touched down to turn the tide and put Warrington 24-18 in front at half-time, and James Harrison and Leon Hayes extended the Wolves' lead after the break.

Ashton scored again, taking his tally to five tries in two matches against Castleford this year having bagged a hat-trick when Warrington claimed a 72-6 victory in March, before Ben Currie scored.

Teenage scrum-half Ewan Irwin was excellent with the boot, splitting the posts with all eight conversions, to make it back-to-back defeats for Castleford.

While Castleford were stuffed by rivals Wakefield last weekend, they claimed a shock win over Leeds in their last home match and Warrington head coach Sam Burgess had warned they would be no pushovers.

On this occasion, they could not find the defensive intent required to stop Warrington on their push for a spot at the top end of the top six.
