Rugby League: Challenge Cup Classics - Episode Guide

Mark Chapman looks back through the BBC Sport archive and picks out five Rugby League Challenge Cup finals that were absolute classics.

Mark Chapman looks back at classic Challenge Cup matches from the BBC Sport archives, including one of the closest finals Wembley has ever seen.

First up we go back to a West Yorkshire clash in 1973, as Featherstone took on Bradford. Fourteen years later, Halifax and St Helens produced one of the closest finals Wembley has ever seen, while yet another Yorkshire club, Sheffield Eagles, were huge underdogs against the mighty Wigan in 1998.

Next is another outsider in Hull FC as they faced Leeds in 2005, and finally the Rhinos are in action again as they played a Wigan side boasting the Tomkins brothers - Sam and Joel - at the peak of their powers.
