Sadly the schoolboy final has not been at the final for a couple of years. It's played elsewhere and the age group winners are usually paraded in between the women's game and the challenge cup final. It shows where our cup stands in the standings. Should we get there and win it'll be a long day and a late journey home.

The Men's 2024 Betfred Challenge Cup Final (KO 3pm) is part of a Finals Day triple-header at Wembley Stadium on Saturday 8 June, alongside the finals of the Betfred Women's Challenge Cup (KO 11.45am) and the AB Sundecks 1895 Cup (KO 5.45pm). Plus, there will be the traditional Year 7 Boys’ Champion Schools Final at 10am. Tickets are available online now from only £15 Adults and £7.50 Under 16s, with family packages also available starting from just £18.75 for one Adult and two Under 16s.

I would hazard a guess the 1895 will gather a lot more interest and support than the women’s final which is probably why it’s on before to boost numbers and make it look fuller towards second half.

Justify inclusion etc and put a positive spin on growth of women’s game.

If we are on after then so be it. Hopefully alot of the crowd stick around afterwards.

If busses set off back at 9 they won't be back by 11.30...add at least an hour onto that.

Probably, unless you make a weekend of it and stay over.
Any pain will be well worth it to see Trinity playing at Wembley, it's been a very long time.
Mind you, we're not there yet !
