Nearly 5,000 fans packed into The Shay to see Halifax Panthers take on St Helens in the sixth round of the Challenge Cup.
In Friday night’s match, which was a repeat of the classic 1987 Wembley final between the two sides, current Super League and world club champions St Helens emerged victorious, winning 26-6.
The Panthers gave the South Stand something to cheer late on, as Jacob Fairbank crossed the line for a try to cap a brave display from the Championship side.
