PREVIEW: Hull FC v Castleford Tigers

Sunday, June 18 (BBC Two from 2.30pm)

#ChallengeCup

It’s the in-form team versus the current cup holders in the final game of the quarter-finals. Both teams have cup pedigree with four wins a piece – will one of these two clubs be lifting the trophy for a fifth time on August 26?

Castleford Tigers have been free scoring with some jaw-dropping attacking play during the Super League season and will be confident of carrying that form into this game.


Castleford’s main try scoring threat would appear to be Greg Eden, who will be looking to add to his haul of 33 tries in 19 games this season. Eden has been superbly supported by the likes of Shenton, Gale and Hardaker in a team which always looks likely to score big.

After a comprehensive win 62-0 victory over Catalans in Round 6, Lee Radford will be hoping his side can progress through to the Semi-finals for the second year running.

Hull FC have suffered indifferent form in 2017, falling to 3 straight league defeats in May before bouncing back with wins against Wigan Warriors and Salford Red Devils.


The teams met in Round 11 of Super League with Hull FC holding on to win 26-24 after Liam Watts red card half way through the first stanza.
