Amidst the scrappiness, beauty. Zac Lomax with a great pick-up, Connor Watson offloading while swamped and a dart over by Dylan Edwards. Superb.

👏 Steven Mullaney was the star of the show in the 1986 Y7 Boys Final! Tragically, Steven died in a road traffic accident a year later, leading to the game being renamed in his memory Steven's father Terry will lead out Featherstone Rovers ahead of the AB Sundecks Ltd 1895 Cup Final

If you fancy a bit of pre-Wembley listening from the two Challenge Cup final protagonists then I can recommend the excellent What would Brian Bevan say for Warrington and equally superb 𝗥𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝗼𝗱 for the Hull KR perspective.

I've enjoyed all the build up interviews for this weekend's Betfred Challenge Cup finals but especially chatting to Danielle McGifford about her journey. Love stories like this - genuinely dreams coming true bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-le… #bbcrl

Chuffed for Hull KR, for Elliot Minchella who've done it tough to get to the top. Gutted for George Williams and Ben Currie, genuinely good human beings and others of course. Today was a game that had excellent people on both sides including coaches, and mixed emotion either way.
