led by the legendary Arthur Atkinson, beat Huddersfield
11–8 in the final at Wembley. This was Castleford's first Challenge Cup final win in their first final appearance and much fancied Huddersfield's first defeat in six final appearances.

Castleford entertained Hull FC on this day, 15 April 2000, the Tigers coming out on top 22 - 12
Hull & Gateshead merged in 1999 with £1.25 million as part of the agreement, in 2000, however, the club reverted to Hull FC & a new Gateshead was formed for the 2001 season!

Back in 1991 (pre Superleague), Boxing Day was a regular & much look forward to date in the Rugby League calendar. Hull FC were visitors to Wheldon Road in 1991-92 season @ctrlfc.bsky.social Cas were convincing 30 points to 8 winners back then, a great Cas side! #COYF
