Hull KR dispatched Warrington Wolves 32-12 in the Challenge Cup semi‑final at Doncaster, booking a Wembley final slot against Wigan on May 30. Willie Peters’ side showed why they’re among the sport’s elite, delivering a five‑try display that capped a dominant run in recent weeks. The victory marks their third Wembley appearance in four years. The match echoed last year's dramatic London final.

Tyrone May opened the scoring in the third minute, threading a pass to James Batchelor who crossed the line. Joe Burgess and Batchelor each added two tries, while Mikey Lewis contributed a penalty and a conversion. A late Oliver Gildart strike sealed the win, pushing the Rovers clear despite a brief Warrington resurgence. Warrington’s only reply came from Ben Currie, converting a Marc Sneyd kick.

The win reinforces Hull KR’s status as a treble‑winning, world‑champion side, easing pressure after a volatile half‑time period. Their offensive firepower, highlighted by five tries, suggests they can match Wigan’s recent 40‑point haul against St Helens. Fans anticipate a clash of styles, with Hull KR’s fluid attack set against Wigan’s bruising defence. With Wembley looming, the Rovers head into the final with momentum and confidence.
