Rugby League: Challenge Cup

2021: Semi-Final: Castleford v Warrington

Live coverage from Leigh Sports Village as Castleford Tigers take on Warrington Wolves, with a place in next month’s Wembley final at stake.\n\nCastleford’s free-flowing rugby is a great spectacle, but they have not won the Challenge Cup since 1986. It would be fitting if they could end that drought this year, as long-serving head coach Daryl Powell will be leaving the club at the end of the season. \n\nStanding in their way are Warrington, who have been the cup specialists in recent years, reaching the final six times in the past 12 seasons. They will also be losing their head coach at the end of the season, with Steve Price returning home to Australia. An intriguing twist to what already promises to be a cracking cup tie is that Powell will be his replacement at the Wolves next season.\n\nCommentary comes from Matt Newsum.
