Warrington lift the Challenge Cup in stunning victory over favourites St Helens

Warrington made a mockery of the form book to pull off a stunning 18-4 win over runaway Super League leaders St Helens in the 118th Challenge Cup final.

Wolves coach Steve Price called Saints the biggest favourites in Challenge Cup history after losing to them in all three league meetings this year and going into Wembley on the back of five straight league defeats.

But Price's men rose superbly to the occasion to receive the trophy - from Prince Harry - for the first time since 2012 in the first ever meeting between the two neighbours in a major final.

Warrington might have been without influential playmaker Blake Austin but his team-mates were battle-hardened - in contrast to their opponents, whose big names might have been rested but were also distinctly rusty.

There'll a homecoming parade for the champions on Monday.
