Rugby League: Challenge Cup

2008, St Helens v Hull FC

Clare Balding presents live coverage of the Challenge Cup Final between St Helens and Hull FC from Wembley Stadium. The road to the final began in early February with 97 sides from across the British Isles, France and Russia taking part. Holders St Helens are hot favourites to retain the trophy, and victory for the 11-times winners would see them become only the second team in history to win three successive Challenge Cup finals. Hull FC last lifted the trophy in 2005, winning a thrilling final 25-24 against the Leeds Rhinos at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium. Victory for Richard Agar's side would seal a magic Wembley double for the city of Hull, just three months after their football club won promotion to the Premier League at the national stadium.
