In the knock-out stages of the Challenge Cup over the 48 years, the outcome to advance to the next round or to the final was decided in a penalty shoot-out in 11 of those years [1990, 1992, 1999, 2001, 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2015, 2020, 2023]! How many did we win? …. NONE! We lost all those penalty shoot-outs! The only shoot-out that we won was in the 1993 Final against Dublin University.
