Off Topic Competition - Win Tickets For RL Challenge Cup Final

105 please

 

Great prize I will guess 77
Looking forward to the semi's and a trip to Wembley whatever the outcome!

 

90 please

 

Thankfully any chance of our visit to Wigan being moved as now disappeared!

 

Going to be a try-feast today......have a friend who is a hardcore Warrington fan, who's promised me the points I need to nab the tickets!! (Although first blood has gone to Wakefield - 6 points down, only need another 90 points to be in with a chance )

 

34 more second half points required

 

And one of Warrington's try's shouldn't have been given, but I'm not bitter, have a good day out guys, eee ba gum

 

F*ck me!!!!

 

Well done to the winner, I was at Leigh this afternoon supporting Warrington, hoping they wouldn't score to many more points after half-time, happy though as I will be at Wembley to support them.

 

Well done the winners!

 

Crikey! Only just seen now that I've won!!
Thank you so much. Looking forward to a fantastic day out.

 

9s, I have done so.

 

Me too. Tx again.

 

Well, what a day.

OK, I have to admit that what I know about Rugby League is represented by the fact that they play with the wrong shaped ball and thy're allowed to run with it. In fact, today was my first ever RL game that I've ever watched. So, with an apology to those die-hard RL fans on here who'd have loved to be at the game, a brief report about the day.

Club Wembley was fun. Great facilities, air conditioned and good quality food and drink. I did not realise that you could take beer to your seat in a rugby game otherwise I would not have left a third of my pint in the bar! At half time there was a live band performing and more good quality nosh and drink. Enough toilets for everyone! Padded seats and leg room. Wowzer!

Over 76 000 fans and two police cars {that I saw}. What is wrong with football fans?!!

As to the game, to a novice like me, it was fast furious and brutal. Would I be correct that in Union, a player may not tackle around another player's neck? Seemed like no hold barred today. Just get them down any which way and hang the consequences!

The first half belonged to Warrington and was justly represented by the score-line. They would, however, come to rue a missed conversion.

In the second half, Hull FC were tenacious and patient and with a great intercept started a movement that resulted in their first try which they converted. Their confidence grew and despite a 'No Try' produced a marvellous movement that led to a second try that, once again, was converted.

With about 90s to go, Warrington got that 'oh so nearly' moment but it was not to be and Hull FC won the day deservedly so on the second half performance.

A fantastic afternoon out.

Huge thanks to IwasanotherwatfordR for the tickets and perhaps there is a budding new Rugby League fan thanks to his generosity.

Final twist was sitting on the 83 bus with a load of Warrington fans who were discussing their footie team - Wigan!! I kept very quiet indeed.
