Rugby League: Challenge Cup

2019

Semi-Final: Warrington v Hull

Duration: 2 hours, 29 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC One HDLatest broadcast: on BBC One Northern Ireland

Enjoy a festival of rugby league in Bolton, which hosts two Challenge Cup semi-finals and the women’s final. Tanya Arnold presents live coverage of Saturday’s first semi-final.

Both sides boast formidable recent pedigree in this competition: Warrington were runners-up in 2018, while Hull FC were winners in both 2016 and 2017. Warrington beat Hull FC’s rivals Hull KR in the quarter-finals and will be contesting their ninth semi-final in 11 seasons. Their opponents, meanwhile, thrashed defending champions Catalans Dragons 51-8 in the last round, and victory today would see them reach the final for the third time in four years.

Before the first semi-final there are extended highlights of the Women’s Challenge Cup final, which will also be streamed live on the BBC Sport website and app.

Commentary at the University of Bolton Stadium is provided by Dave Woods with analysis by Jamie Jones-Buchanan, Brian Noble and Jon Wilkin. Show less
