Experienced Officials Set to Take Charge of RFL Challenge Cup Finals Day at Wembley
London, April 28th – The officiating teams for this Saturday’s eagerly anticipated RFL Challenge Cup Finals Day at Wembley Stadium have been announced, showcasing a mix of seasoned and rising match officials.
Historically, the RFL’s Men’s Super League referees have taken charge of the finals, even when the competing teams are not from the top flight. Chris Kendall will once again referee the men’s Challenge Cup final, marking his fourth consecutive year overseeing the sport’s most iconic fixture. Joining him will be Liam Moore as the video referee.
In the 1895 Cup final between Sheffield Eagles and Wakefield Trinity, Tom Grant will make his Wembley debut as the referee, with no video officials present as is the norm in the RFL Championship and League One.
The women’s Challenge Cup final between reigning champions St Helens and Leeds Rhinos will feature a historic moment, as Beth Neilson becomes the first female referee to officiate a senior Wembley final in rugby league. She will be the touch judge, while Aaron Moore takes charge as the referee, with Ben Thaler as the video official.
These referee appointments underline the RFL’s commitment to providing experienced and high-caliber match officials for the sport’s biggest occasions, ensuring the integrity and fairness of the Challenge Cup Finals Day proceedings.
