This week for the Saints

St.Helens’ weekly fixture preview – This week for the Saints – is sponsored Joseph James Furniture Outlet.

Friday night sees the Saints First Team in Betfred Super League action, and then on Saturday afternoon our Academy team play their final away fixture of the regular season.

We also have six Saints in contention to play in the Wales Women vs England Women international on Saturday afternoon!

The key details for this week’s fixtures can be viewed below.

FRIDAY

First Team vs  Wakefield Trinity (A)

Paul Wellens’ Saints go into Round 21 on the back of a professional 40-0 win over Castleford Tigers, a result moved the Red V into fourth place in the league table. However, the Play-Offs race continues to be tight with seven rounds of the season to go, and Wakefield are firmly in the hunt.

Trinity beat Leeds Rhinos in the first week of Super League’s split round to move into the top six of the league ladder, before enjoying a week off with no action. They will be out to retain that spot in the standings, and get some revenge over the Saints.

The Saints have already beaten Wakefield twice, both at home and away, in 2025. Can they make it a triple?

• Friday, 8th August 2025
• Kick-off at 8pm
• DIY Kitchens Stadium, WF1 5EY
• Match tickets are available online at eticketing.co.uk/saintsrlfc

SATURDAY

Academy vs  Wakefield Trinity (A)

Our Under 18s are on the road for the final time in the regular Academy Championship season, and will be looking to bounce back from defeats to Leeds Rhinos at Headingley, and a narrow, tight home loss on derby day to Wigan.

Derek Traynor’s young Saints are currently fifth in the Academy league table, whilst Wakefield are in ninth but just two points behind the Red V.

So far in the 2025 campaign, our Under 18s’ have five wins and four losses going into Saturday’s match against Wakefield.

Wales Women vs England Women

England visit Wales for the first time since 2022 for a mid-season international clash. Both teams are preparing for the Rugby League World Cup in Australia in late 2026, which will be Wales’s first appearance in the tournament.

The Saints have five of our players selected in the England squad, with: Jodie Cunningham, Phoebe Hook, Katie Mottershead, Emily Rudge, and Vicky Whitfield. Meanwhile, in the Wales squad we have a sole representative with winger Dani McGifford, who scored in the Welsh team’s victory over Scotland last Sunday afternoon.
