This years match-up is a mirror-image of last seasons Final at the Sheffield Arena, with the Nottingham Panthers taking on the Sheffield Steelers. The scoreline last year surprised everyone with the Sheffield Steelers beating Panthers 4-0. With the Panthers out to avenge that defeat and the Steelers looking to retain the cup, the scene is set for a very keenly fought contest. Historically, games between these two local rivals have turned into battles of epic proportions. The Panthers are a team with immense pride and hunger for success. Although finishing lower in the Sekonda Superleague standings than the Steelers, Panthers are capable of beating anyone on their day, and proved this when they slayed the London Knights 7-4 on aggregate in their semi-final matches. The Steelers have come a long way in the last twelve months. They recently claimed the runners-up spot in the Sekonda Superleague, and boast the top three scorers in the league. They have nothing to show in their trophy case so far this season for all their hard work, so expect them to fight tooth and nail to hang onto the Challenge Cup title. Want to be there to see which of these two great teams walks away with the new Challenge Cup trophy?
