Hull KR players celebrate winning the Challenge Cup

Hull KR's journey has been marked by heartbreak in their quest for silverware, especially since their last Challenge Cup win in 1980.

They faced a devastating loss to Leigh in golden-point extra time during the 2023 Challenge Cup final, and were narrowly defeated by Wigan in the Super League Grand Final.

However, their fortunes changed recently when Mikey Lewis secured victory with a late kick against Warrington at Wembley, ending a decades-long drought.

This victory is particularly significant as Hull KR had dropped out of Super League less than ten years ago.

BBC Sport explores the implications of this triumph, suggesting the team may finally be on the brink of greatness.
