Rugby League Challenge Cup Final

As you may have guessed, we are none too keen on the Warriors, being St Helens (and Whitehaven) supporters in this house.

I have looked through the archives and found British Pathé newsreel footage of finals from years gone by (click on images to be taken to British Pathé website) and there is even one showing Wigan winning (just as they won't on Saturday - we hope!)
