The Royals last won silverware in 2010 and with several key players from that successful campaign still involved, the club will be hoping their experience ensures a cup repeat.

Led by full-back Mark Finch, Royals unleashed the destructive forces of Steve Alford and Ian Maull early in the semi-final and John Wheelhouse, Brian Ahern, Paul Salvin, Rhys Horton, Simon Gardener, Adam Clifford and Will Cox all took advantage to cross the whitewash.

The Royals play their final home game at Acre Close this weekend against Bedford Tigers A as they look to build momentum ahead of their Derby showdown.
