And there you have it - a memorable afternoon for the Leicester Tigers faithful, who got to see their team win a trophy on home soil for the first time in 113 years!

Exeter Chiefs fans would rather forget it, no doubt - but the good news is that there's always another game to look forward to.

Both the Tigers and Chiefs will be back in league action next weekend and we'll be bringing you all the match details and reaction as usual.

Thanks for your company today and goodbye for now!

Leicester Tigers head coach Geoff Parling told TNT Sports: "It's been a lot of hard work from the start of the season, we mixed it around. Lots of guys have chipped in for each other.

"It was a big effort by everybody, and really pleasing we got to do it in front of our home fans as well.

"It's been a great chance for some guys to put their hands up, if you look at Will Wand, Harry Palmer - mixed with some older blokes who have got game time.

"Our minds are already on next week at Bristol and we really want to make sure we're on it in front of our home fans again. We have to keep working hard and making sure we turn up."

Exeter Chiefs captain Lewis Pearson told TNT Sports: "We've been in this situation before, at Northampton, and obviously we hoped we had the same resolve to get a result but unfortunately it wasn't there today.

"We're learning hugely, this was our first chance to get some silverware in the cabinet after a rebuild season, so it's gutting that we've missed that opportunity."

A great afternoon for Leicester Tigers, who have claimed only their second piece of silverware since 2017.

Everything went Leicester's way. Exeter fell off tackles, they made basic errors, they gave away penalties.

It's a very, very rude awakening for these boys from Exeter - they'll never forget the Prem Cup final for the wrong reasons.

But this is what happens in sport, we've all seen it, and it's times like these you remember when the times are good you've got to put it all down to the fact you've been through these awful moments.

A brilliant game to watch, really impressive. Every part of Tigers' game today was top-notch. Defence was incredible, but how clinical they were in attack, absolutely ruthless and it sets the tone for the rest of the season.

There were some brilliant individual performances but a full team performance today was what was so impressive.

What Geoff Parling is creating here - that mindset, that work ethic, that ruthless edge, I can't wait for next week.

Leicester Tigers' Billy Searle told TNT Sports: "It's massive for the club, a real squad effort - we had everyone involved pretty much throughout the competition.

"A trophy's a trophy and we'll take it and move on to the Prem. It's special to have a final at home, with a big crowd and big atmosphere so it's really pleasing.

"It was probably not the most exciting rugby at times but we still tried to move the ball, we used our pressure game and our kicking game and it's a good win for us."

A resounding win for the Tigers, who claim the trophy for the first time.

It's also their first silverware under head coach Geoff Parling and, to be honest, the result never looked in doubt.

Strangely enough, Exeter Chiefs scored 14 points in last year's final as well.

The problem was they conceded 48 to Bath - and it's more than that today.

As it stands, this is going to be the biggest margin in a Prem Rugby Cup final.

We've seen some brilliant attacking tries to today but for me, the workrate in defence, the hits, the line speed, the connection, it's unbelievable.

We're in the 72nd minute, it's 61-14 and Tigers are playing like it's 0-0. The effort is so, so good. What Geoff Parling has created here is really special.

All we can say at the moment is look forward to Saturday, Sale at Sandy Park in the Prem - back to league action and we hope that Exeter are able to pick from strength at the weekend.

Leicester are back at 15 players on the field and they win possession again after a fumble by Paul Brown-Bampoe.

They've got the half-century up already - how many more points can the Tigers add and rub salt into the Exeter wounds?

Well, at least the numbers of personnel are level now.

Leicester's Will Wand is ordered to the sin-bin for failing to judge 10m properly after a penalty was awarded and the Chiefs will be back at full strength shortly.
