Robins on cloud nine after capital showpiece goes down to the wire

Mikey Lewis held his nerve to kick the conversion that ended 40 years of Hull KR hurt in a dramatic finish to the Betfred Challenge Cup final at rain-lashed Wembley.

The Super League leaders looked set to extend the agony as Warrington entered the last three minutes with a four-point lead, before Tom Davies flopped onto Tyrone May's kick to haul the Robins level. Lewis then stepped up to boot his side into the history books, completing an 8-6 win that erased the memory of their last-gasp agony against Leigh in 2023.

It was a remarkable ending to a contest that never quite caught fire and had seemed likely to be decided by a masterclass from Warrington scrum-half Marc Sneyd, for whom a record-equalling Lance Todd trophy for man of the match will prove no consolation.
