For Leeds Rhinos the wait is over and one of rugby league’s great peculiarities is no more. Not since 1999 had this great sporting institution celebrated a Challenge Cup Final victory. Six times they had tried in recent years and six times, remarkably, they had failed. Now, after this compelling and deserved victory over neighbours and underdogs Castleford, Brian McDermott’s team have the sport’s most cherished trophy back in their possession again. Delirious: Leeds Rhinos celebrate their first Challenge Cup trophy success in 15 years Delighted: Brian McDermott looks over the moon after leading Leeds Rhinos to Challenge Cup success
