KEMP TWINS ON GETTING ON THE FIELD FOR FC AND WHAT FUTURE HOLDS

There are few words that do justice to how Hull FC twin duo Lloyd and Callum Kemp felt after victory over Warrington Wolves earlier this month, but for both players, 'surreal' is a fair common ground.
That's how it felt for the teenagers, still only 18, after playing in the first team at the same time for their boyhood club.
After all, this is not just any club; for the Kemps, it's the one, along with Mum and Dad and elder brother Harvey, that they have supported all of their life - and now they're determined to create their own chapter as two of its brightest young talents.
"It was surreal," Lloyd, speaking to the Mail, recalled. "You can't really think about it when you're in the moment, but when the game is finished and you're all sat as a family, you can look back at it, and being able to do that with your twin brother, who I've played with for all of my life, is just crazy. It was an unreal feeling."
It's a sentiment Callum shares. He said: "It was pretty surreal, to be honest, a childhood dream, and it's something we've wanted to achieve all of our lives. To be able to do that, especially at home, it had that extra special touch.
"My brother, Harvey, has missed a couple of our other games, so to have the full family there was pretty special. We all used to sit in the southeast corner. We've supported this club all our life. It means so much to us."
