The Rugby League Challenge Cup Final: Castleford v. Salford
BBC outside broadcast cameras bring you the whole of today's big match at the Empire Stadium, Wembley, followed by the presentation of the Cup and medals by Sir Denis Blundell, K.B.E., High Commissioner for New Zealand

Neither team has reached Wembley during the past thirty years. Salford lost to Halifax in the 1939 Final, having beaten Barrow the previous year. Castleford are at Wembley for the second time. Their first appearance was in 1935 when they beat Huddersfield. Today's final promises to be a memorable one, between two sides with definite attacking ideas
