St.Helens Women secured their spot in the 2024 Betfred Women's Challenge Cup Final by beating reigning Women's Super League champions York Valkyrie by 32-2!
On a hot Saturday in Doncaster, Matty Smith’s Saints bested York for the second year running in the final four of the competition to book a return to Wembley Stadium on Saturday, 8th June – this time in remarkably convincing fashion.
A six-try haul against the Valkyrie saw the Red V stick 32 points on the board, with York’s only points of the occasion coming from a penalty.
St.Helens made even more history last year by becoming the first Women’s Rugby League side to win the Challenge Cup at the national stadium. It was also the third straight year that the Saints won the trophy, and the chance to make it four-in-a-row is edging ever closer.
Who the Saints will face will be decided on Sunday, 19th May at the Totally Wicked Stadium where the second Semi-Final will be contested between Wigan Warriors Women & last year’s fellow finalists; Leeds Rhinos Women – kick-off of that knockout clash is at 12:30pm.
The full match report of the Saints’ brilliant victory will be published tomorrow, with the full match replay and highlights to come on Monday afternoon on Saints TV!
Our Club’s ticket details for Wembley will be published very soon, supporters are advised to keep an eye on our website saintsrlfc.com, as well as our official Club social media channels.
