Challenge Cup Final

[duc748]

Anyone watching? St Helens looking pretty comfortable against Leeds Rhinos in the Women's' Final. Clear to see how, as with football, the standard of play in women's sport has improved enormously in recent years with more participation,. Later this afternoon two 'outsider' teams will compete for the men's Final, Hull Kinston Rovers and Leigh Leopards.

I'm in Texas but my husband is from Leigh.
The rugby is on and we finally managed a VPN especially for the match/game.

Its just gone past halftime and it's very close!

I'm channel hopping. I normally watch Union. Who is the chap in that amazing leopard print suit?

I think his name is Derek Beaumont the owner of Leigh Leopards.

That's the fella. I thought they were joking about his leopard-print Lamborghini, but apparently not! 😀

Loved watching this. You don't don't get the same emotion watching Sarries play.

He's great

Brilliant match!! Well done Leigh

My husband is dancing and celebrating right now. I bet it's probably the only time he's ever wished he could be in Leigh! 😂

It was nail-biting and super exciting. Well done, Leigh!

Well it's been a long time between drinks for your husband; Leigh haven't won it since 1970! Very exciting finish.

@HewasH20 that’s Derek Beaumont. He’s the owner of Leigh Leopards and was behind the rebranding of the club. He’s taken a lot of abuse (mainly from supporters of other clubs) but turns out he had the right idea. It’s so great to see clubs like Leigh and Hull KR do so well.

I've never watched League before. It doesn't come down this far (think Cornish Pirates & Exeter Chiefs). It was fun.

I’m a saints fan so loved seeing the women win at Wembley. Jodie Cunningham has done so much for the game she deserved that chance and you could see how much it meant to her.

i was out for the men’s final but managed to watch the end of my phone. What a finish! Made up for Leigh. Whatever you think of Beaumont he has worked wonders for the club

I'm a big fan. I watch all the Aussie NRL games too, and when you are watching the best players on the planet, it is very exciting.

This series features matches between the Queensland Maroons and the New South Wales Blues, representing the states of Queensland and New South Wales, respectively. The State of Origin is highly regarded and often considered the pinnacle of rugby league, showcasing fierce competition and intense rivalries between the two states cubes 2048

In the unlikely event that anyone is interested, 😀the Brisbane Broncos really put on a show this weekend in Canberra. Reece Walsh is a superstar. And Selwyn Cobbo is not bad either.
