A refreshed match-up in the Challenge Cup final will see Hull KR go up against Leigh Leopards this weekend, with each side eager to make the most of their huge opportunity to secure silverware.

Hull KR have won the competition only once despite featuring in seven finals over the years: 2015 saw their only final appearance since 1986 and they were put to the sword by Leeds Rhinos in a 50-0 whitewash.

Leigh Leopards won this competition twice back when the team was known simply as Leigh, but they haven’t reached the final since their last victory back in 1971.

The Leopards have successfully managed to juggle their cup run with strong league form as they sit third in the Super League, just two victories short of Catalans Dragons. Hull sit further back in sixth.

Reigning champions Wigan Warriors were dumped out of the competition by Hull KR in a nail-biting 11-10 extra-time victory in the semi-finals, while Leigh toppled St Helens 12-10 in an equally nervy final-four showdown.
