The official souvenir programme for Saturday’s eagerly awaited Carnegie Challenge Cup final is a must-read for all fans heading to Wembley for the big day.

The bumper 100-page A4 edition - the biggest ever produced - is crammed full of features on finalists Leeds Rhinos and Warrington Wolves, including interviews with head coaches Brian McDermott and Tony Smith, captains Kevin Sinfield and Adrian Morley as well reflections on some of the greatest moments in Cup history.

But there’s much more in the publication that accompanies the showpiece event in the Rugby League calendar – all written by the game’s leading writers from the national media. 

The history and tradition of the Challenge Cup competition is celebrated with great features and pictures from past epic encounters under Wembley’s Twin Towers or Arch.
