Wembley cup final gives women's game incentive

The fact that the Challenge Cup finals for men and women will take place at Wembley Stadium on the same day starting in 2023 has added special significance to the event.

As so many male captains have done, it has made it possible for Emily Rudge and Jodie Cunningham of St Helens to confidently walk up to the Royal Box and raise the cup.

Like Martin Offiah did for Wigan in 1994, Caitlin Beevers was able to scorch a devastating counterattack try across the lush green turf for Leeds Rhinos.
