Hull KR hold off Warrington to secure historic first League Leaders’ Shield
-
Hull KR 28-20 Warrington
-
Second leg of possible domestic treble completed
There have been some unforgettable moments inside Craven Park this year, but when Tyrone May crossed under the posts to secure a first League Leaders’ Shield for Hull KR, it was hard not to feel a combination of euphoria, emotion and ultimately relief around this famous old ground.
Finishing top of the table has never quite felt as important as it should do in Super League given the big prize is still to be handed out, but for a club that have not achieved that feat since 1985, you always suspected this would be celebrated with proper merit. Having not won a trophy for 40 years, Hull KR have won two inside four months, and are now two wins away from an historic treble.
