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.
