With two Saints teams away in Warrington, supporters can make even more of their Saturday, firstly at Victoria Park where our Women’s team could claim the League Leader’s Shield with a victory.
Our First Team go into the Wolves’ den the Halliwell Jones Stadium looking to make it back-to-back away wins following last Sunday’s victory over Huddersfield on the road. With the play-off race getting tighter with just three rounds remaining, a positive result for the Red V would keep us in control of reaching the play-offs.
🔻 FIRST TEAM SQUAD NEWS
Paul Wellens makes just one change to his team following last Sunday afternoon’s win over the Giants.
Our Vice Captain and #1 Jack Welsby is named in the 21-man squad for the first time since Round 19 against Leigh when he suffered a hamstring injury in the opening few minutes of that match. As revealed by Wellens during his weekly press conference, Welsby has been progressing well, including training with the team on-field this week.

St.Helens Women could be crowned 2024 League Leader’s Shield winners for the second time with a win at the weekend. The last time Saints won the trophy was back in their treble winning season of 2021, and they currently hold a four-point lead at the top of the Betfred Women’s Super League with just two regular season rounds remaining.
Saints are currently on a thirteen-game winning run across all competitions. It’s the third meeting of the season between the two sides, having come head-to-head in both the cup and league earlier on in the year. Saints travelled to Bank Quay Bulls in the Betfred Women’s Challenge Cup back in April, winning 6-58 in the group stage. That was followed by a dominant 82-0 victory in the Betfred Women’s Super League in July at the Totally Wicked Stadium.
A reminder that this Women’s match on Saturday takes place at Victoria Park in Warrington, at 12pm. Tickets will be available on the gate, costing just £5 for adults and £2 for concessions.
