The last time Huddersfield contested a Challenge Cup Final was in 2009 at the start of what was their finest period in Super League under Nathan Brown and ...

It will likely be him or experienced Michael Lawrence occupying a spot on the bench alongside Owen Trout and Joe Greenwood. But Russell got through yesterday’s captain’s run unscathed and will play alongside Jack Cogger we’re led to believe barring a last minute switch. It’s been nearly 70 years since the Giants defeated the Saints in the 1953 cup final so there is indeed a monkey on their backs.

The Warriors and the Giants battle it out for supremacy in the first Challenge Cup Final at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

He gets it with decisions to make with McGillvary on his outside. Two pillars of the Giants side combine, and perhaps the most important of all. Huddersfield Giants are five minutes off winning the Challenge Cup. Five minutes left. If you can't make the game and want to keep up to speed, this is the place for you. Huddersfield, meanwhile, have not won the competition since 1953.

Oliver Russell will play in the halves with Jack Cogger and Ashton Golding retains his place on the bench. He's one of two changes with Kaide Ellis also coming in, which sees Ollie Partington and Joe Shorrocks miss out. Both swaps are like for like, with Leuluai deputising from the bench in place of Shorrocks and Ellis the same for Partington. Harry Smith will start in the halves with Cade Cust.

Meanwhile, Tui Lolohea is second in the assists charts, with 17 to his name. In his last two seasons at the AJ Bell, he guided the club to the Grand Final and the Challenge Cup final, ultimately losing both. Matty Peet will be hoping to guide the club to their 20th win in the competition, and their first since 2013.

Challenge Cup final: Huddersfield Giants 14 Wigan Warriors 16 (Yorkshire Post)

Huddersfield Giants were less than four minutes away from ending their 69-year wait to win the Challenge Cup, only to suffer the cruelest of defeat to Wigan ...

McGillvary finished strongly at the corner from a terrific offload by Leroy Cudjoe, but - for the fourth time - Lolohea could not land the kick. Lolohea missed a chance to equalise on 47 minutes when he sent a long-range but straight penalty attempt wide after a high tackle by Smithies on Joe Greenwood. They were the better team, but four missed kicks by Tui Lolohea - who otherwise had a fine game - cost them the game as the six tries were shared.

Challenge Cup final 2022: Liam Marshall's try snatches 16-14 win ... (Sky Sports)

Liam Marshall's try three minutes from time saw Wigan Warriors claim the Betfred Challenge Cup for the 20th time with a 16-14 win over Huddersfield.

It all came as Lolohea collected a chip from Smith and then released Leutele to counter. It would not be long before the Giants were back in front, however. Prop Kaide Ellis was among the interchange players too after serving a suspension. That came in the 77th minute, though, as Smith spotted space in behind the defence and put through a grubber from 30 metres out which sat up perfectly for Marshall to grab and finish, taking the cup back to Wigan for the first time since 2013. Ian Watson's team were also left to rue four out of five missed kicks at goal from Lolohea and although second-row McQueen claimed the Lance Todd Trophy - the second year in a row the player of the match had finished on the losing team - it was scant consolation as the Giants missed out on lifting the Challenge Cup for the first time since 1953. But the irrepressible Jai Field put Wigan into the lead for the first time three minutes after the restart and although Huddersfield did retake the lead, there was no denying Matt Peet's side as Marshall chased down a kick from Harry Smith to finish in the corner for the game-clinching try.

Challenge Cup final: Huddersfield 14-16 Wigan · Late try secures trophy for Warriors for 20th time.

Lolohea missed a long-range penalty to level the scores but again Huddersfield hit back in impressive fashion. A penalty from Lolohea put them ahead in the early stages but that was the only goal he would kick. However, that lead was erased after the restart when Bevan French and Jai Field linked up to free Field for a wonderful try. They gave everything in a quest to win their first major trophy for 69 years, but were undone by Marshall’s late try. Barely six months on from becoming coach of his home town club, he has ticked that box in the most dramatic way. The winger, by his own admission, was hardly pulling up trees in Wigan’s junior setup and the club’s coaching staff were unsure he would make it professionally.

They last lifted the trophy back in 1953 and they got one hand on it this time before their late heartbreak. With four minutes left and behind by two points, Marshall got on the end of Smith's delightful grubber-kick to send the Wigan fans delirious. The defeat will be a difficult one to take for boss Ian Watson, who was also on the losing end by a mere two points for Salford against Leeds two years ago. The long wait for Huddersfield to win the Challenge Cup goes on. The Warriors are the top points scorers in Super League this season and will almost certainly be challengers for the Grand Final come the end of the campaign. Wigan Warriors stunned Huddersfield Giants with a late try to win the Challenge Cup for a record-extending 20th time at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

After Jermaine McGillvary was denied in the right corner, the Giants continued to probe and were rewarded in the 34th minute. 'You could see the commitment on show from both teams. Smith added the conversion to level matters at 6-6 but Huddersfield roused themselves and scored a second try to lead 10-6 at the interval. Huddersfield led inside the third minute when Lolohea booted a penalty and their first try came in the 16th minute when a neat handling sequence found Ricky Leutele inside the left channel. Missed kicks did for Huddersfield in the end – full-back Tui Lolohea faltered with four of his five attempts at goal and was made to pay in the end. Cur delirium in the Wigan stands and devastation among the Huddersfield hordes in the 51,628 crowd.
