I felt it was important, but now I realise it was uber important - Sewell

CHAIRMAN REFLECTS ON KR'S FIRST CHALLENGE CUP WIN IN 45 YEARS

- By MATTY SHAW

Hull KR chairman Paul Sewell admitted he underestimated the importance of securing silverware until they had acquired it.

The 40-year wait for a major trophy is over after the Robins won at Wembley, much to the delight of everyone associated with the club.

For Sewell, it was the culmination of just over three years of work following his arrival at KR, which has been seen as an important moment in the club's progression.

Having now experienced it, Sewell admits the need was greater than he had anticipated.
