Featherstone beating Hull in the final in 83 was a massive shock. Hull were odds on to win Featherstone had just clung on and avoided relegation. Looked a poor side but did the business in the final.

Probably the best performance from a Keighley side i've ever seen.
I believe it to be one of only a couple of times a Super League team has lost at home to a lower league side in the Challenge Cup.'"
I was hoping no one would mention this one. I stopped going for 2 years after this game (I was only 9 though, so it had a big impact on me!) |

Toulouse beating Widnes 40 - 24 in the 2005 quarter finals has to be right up there.

Hey no need for a dig, just my personal opinion. It was the most exciting and dramatic Challenge Cup game I'd ever seen (whether live or on TV) + considering how rare upsets had become in the full-time professional era I thought that made it even more impressive, i.e. shocks in the winter days are of course to be commended, but it can't be denied that things like boggy pitches were a great leveller back then, which in theory gave the lower league teams a better chance. |

I was there at Thrum Hall alongside a young Richard Moore, now of Wakefield.
There was an almighty mass brawl at the end of the game when our fullback Keith Dixon, who had a reputation for being a bit soft, stupidly picked a fight with Kelvin Skerritt. Needless to say it was probably the most one sided fight in the history of Rugby League with Skerrett knocking him out cold with his first punch. Then all hell broke loose with I think Skerrett getting a red card and Darren Fleary going in the bin as well. |

Not to mention the fact that the giants had twice racked up over 60 points on hunslet the previous season with practically the Same teams, a remarkable result which seems to go unnoticed for some reason |
