Just a week to go until the challenge cup final, the first chance of silverware for the season.

I'm really hoping and feeling very confident that my team, Hull Kingston Rovers, will come out victorious on the day, but, I felt we would have beaten Leigh in 2023, so it's still a lottery in a one off game.

Having beaten all teams except Wigan this term, it's certainly in our favour, but as said, one off game, it's who wants it the most at the end of the day.

We're off to Wem-ber-lee...

You must be very happy with that win! Tough game in tricky conditions but they never gave up so well deserved!

Bit sad to see & hear that lass singing 'Abide With Me' all on here own....

Very happy. We didn't do it the easy way and tbh I thought Warrington were the better side for large parts of the match, but a win is a win.

I've waited 44 years for this (all my life), so I'm over the moon.

Abdie with me was being sang in the east stand, can't comment on the others.

Cheers!!!!!!!

I was only able to watch on my mobile while at my daughter’s dance competition.

Looked like a rather wet, up the middle fest. Reminds me of Wigan v Hull in 2013. A game for the purists.

I was genuinely convinced Rovers were going to choke another final. So I was really pleased when the try was given (clear as day to me).

Well done Mikey Lewis for nailing the conversion - all of Wembley had their eyes on him..!

Congratulations KR - very well deserved and must feel sweet after all the disappointments over the years.

Missed the game but chuffed for Rovers, it’s been a while for such a famous name. I’m a Central Park man thru n thru, but can’t begrudge the trophies being shared about - especially not when in a proper purists game smile

Speaking of honours, Billy B is finally getting his knighthood. Bout bloody time. Any sport, any time, anywhere- he was as good as it got.

I heard that. Amazing news..! Sir William Boston.

The first ever rugby league player knighted. And thoroughly deserved.

The man also has three statues - Cardiff, Wigan and London (Wembley)..!
