St Helens ensured the Betfred Women’s Challenge Cup stayed in their hands for the fourth year in a row as they again denied Leeds Rhinos with a 22-0 victory at Wembley.
There was a cagey opening to the final, but two tries in the space of five minutes from Faye Gaskin and Phoebe Hook helped holders Saints into a 10-0 lead at half-time.
Luci McColm’s try five minutes into the second half made the Rhinos’ task even harder and they could not find a way to unlock the stubborn defence of their opponents, with Chantelle Crowl’s try nine minutes from time putting the seal on the win.
The victory saw St Helens equal the four Women’s Challenge Cups in a row won under their previous guise as Thatto Heath between 2013 and 2016, while for two-time winners Leeds it was their third defeat in this final in succession.
