Rugby League: Challenge Cup

2013

24/08/2013

Duration: 3 hours

First broadcast: on BBC One Scotland HDLatest broadcast: on BBC One Yorkshire

Mark Chapman presents live coverage of the Challenge Cup final from Wembley as Hull FC take on Wigan Warriors. It will be the third time they have met in rugby league's showpiece event following two previous finals in 1959 and 1985, which were both won by Wigan.

Both clubs had vastly contrasting semi-finals. Eighteen-time winners Wigan booked their place at Wembley with an astonishing 70-0 win over London Broncos, a record scoreline for a Challenge Cup semi-final. Hull FC, who enjoyed the last of their three cup successes back in 2005, had a much harder match, squeezing past the defending champions Warrington 16-12.

Commentary comes from Dave Woods, Jonathan Davies and Brian Noble. Show less
