Summary

MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Rugby League Cup. DESCRIPTION: 80,000 came South to Wembley for the Rugby League Final between Hull and Wakefield Trinity. Her Majesty had come to see the event for the first time, and the teams were presented to Prince Philip before the match. With a victory of thirty-eight to five, Derek Turner received the trophy from the Queen.
