Halifax Panthers retained the Wheelchair Challenge Cup with a commanding 92-24 victory over Leeds Rhinos, securing their sixth triumph in the competition. Rob Hawkins was the standout performer, scoring 10 tries and 72 points in a display that turned a competitive opening into a one-sided final.

Halifax led 38-12 at half-time after Hawkins and Leeds’ Josh Butler each scored twice, before Hawkins completed a first-half hat-trick and Jack Brown added three tries. Brown finished with four tries, Finlay O’Neill also scored, and Butler scored all four of Leeds’ tries; the match produced 19 tries overall. Halifax had beaten London Broncos in last year’s final and previously won the first four editions from 2015 to 2018.
