Rovers will return to Hull on Sunday morning after a night of celebrations in the capital at the team hotel, with players and staff joined by their family for a private function. The team will board a special open top us for a parade which begins at 5pm, departing from Craven Park.

A big screen will show highlights of the team’s journey in reaching the final, along with footage of their win over Warrington Wolves.
There will be a host of interviews with the players, coaches and others, while the team will get the chance to thank fans for their amazing support. The event will finish at 7:30pm, with the crowd joining in with a big sing-song of the ‘Red Red Robin’.
