It’s all over. Halifax bow out of the Challenge Cup with their heads held high. What an atmosphere. Imagine what it’d be like if they’d won. Fantastic support.
That is Fax’s first try against St Helens since...
July 2002!! It was well worth the wait! The Shay is bouncing!
Jacob Fairbank!
It was Jacob Fairbank who dived over the line after a great inside pass from Lannon.
