What a great ending to a great game!!!!

[GeordieSaint]

Uffff… long way to run at the end of the game in this heat. Great effort.

[Futtocks]

Full Time, and Fev have done it. This was a proper cup final.

[wilsontown]

Was worried before this, but we played our part in a great spectacle. Congrats Fev.

[shrewsbury roughyed]

Great game. Flew by. Congratulations to Fev but also to both teams and clubs. Why the bbc don’t show that on terrestrial tv is beyond me. 

[The Hallucinating Goose]

Not a bad game that. 

[UBranger]

Wow great game ,York kept that game going all the way. Well dne Fev.

[Adelaide Tiger]

Cracking game, really enjoyed that.  A big wrap to every player out there.

Hope the CC Final is just as good.

Come on Cas!

[Davo5]

It is on the red button. 

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

Really enjoyable game that, with loads of ex-Trinity interest but I did favour my local side Fev between the two.  Watching without commentary so it took me a while to cotton on to David March though.

One thing that always stands out for me, and was clearly demonstrated after the final hooter camera shots, is how fans react to a defeat in complete contrast to players.

Strange not being down in Wembley for the 2nd year in a row.

[Cardypaul]

Never expected Fev to win with all the problems no hookers not being able to train together for 10 days unbelievable 

[Padge]

Well done and congrats to fev. Deserved win but York made you work hard for it.

True. But in terms of spreading the word and spotlighting a great piece of sport it would probably have reached more people on the main channel instead of hidden away.

Amazing win last 17 fit players no hookers I honestly thought we would lose today couldn’t be prouder 

[Dave T]

I think both teams should be happy. Fev are the better team and showed it, but York gave a good showing, gave their fans plenty to cheer and some of those players will have memories for life. 

Great start to the day.

Obviously as a FEV fan delighted with the outcome but once again disappointed with the RFL treating the championship as second class citizens No video ref  in a final when quite clearly one was needed for one of the tries 

It's not like they would have to bring someone in  for the game they were already there  sat in the stands waiting for the CC final

And then people would have complained about footage of an almost empty stadium.

You’re probably right, mate. 

[Futtocks]

If anybody missed what was a really good cup final, it is being repeated on the red button in a few minutes.

[Smudger06]

Well done Fev and York

It's a huge 90k stadium, must have been about 10k minimum in for the 1895, maybe only 1 or 2k neutrals. I think half the Fev fans left after they lifted Cup. Then 42k in for CC, about 6k of which was in for 1st game. (Quite a gap between 1 game finishing and next game starting.) I've been to Summer Bashes but only stayed for Fev Game, stayed for both today but two is certainly max for me, don't know how ppl can watch 3 live games on same day at Magic Weekend and Summer Bash. 

[Gooleboy]

Really pleased with the victory after all the issues through the week. Well done to York for never throwing in the towel. I am sure it was a fine game for all neutrals watching.
