Will history repeat itself at Wembley? Stay with us to find out! Kick off is scheduled at 5.45pm.

Challenge Cup Finals Day LIVE

Thank you again for your company tonight. We will see you next time.

That will be a gutting walk for those players. They put in a great shift.

Fev’s players are making their way to the Royal Box to collect their runners’ up medals.

Fev’s players go over to the travelling support. They were loud and proud throughout.

Thank you for your company this evening. If you were at Wembley, safe trip back up to West Yorkshire. We will have a match report online soon, and we should have some reaction as well for you at some point.

It wasn’t a classic, far from it, but York won’t care. They will get to lift the 1895 Cup. Revenge for 2021 perhaps.
