Featherstone 145-0 York

IF , and it is a big IF we can mirror our performance against Fev on 9th of may then it could be close.

[Fevrover]

Fev should win but its a final so who knows.

[georgeb1]

As said above it's a one off , both sides will have numerous players returning this saturday , york  when and if they do click there a match for fev , close game I hope, fev by 8.   

[wilsontown]

York in horrendous form and I could see this being a real blowout. I hope not, but it would be hugely surprising for us to win. Fev by at least 20.

[The Phantom Horseman]

Before anyone starts talking of blowouts it might be worth waiting to see what sort of team Fev can turn out. Already lots of players out injured but Covid very much a possible issue too.

If covid does strike there's already TALK of Wembley being cancelled.

I’d guess if that was the case we would get beat by a charge down try

[RayCee]

As long as it's not 24-0. Too many cancellations this year already.

Slight tweak Deano , Chissy stumbles trying to block Riley's kick which sails between the post's.

[The Blues Ox]

Fev by 60 but to play the game with 12 players to keep it even.

[Harry Stottle]

Nothing but a resounding win for Fev, York not even in the same street.

Robert Hicks will referee the 1895 Cup Final between Featherstone Rovers and York City Knights at Wembley Stadium on Saturday. The 1895 Cup Final will not have a video referee with Mike Smaill and Nick Bennett the appointed in-goal officials.
