Women’s Super League final: St Helens 8-18 York ValkyrieOwen, Partington and Gentles score tries in victory
York Valkyrie became the first side in Women’s Super League history to win back-to-back league titles after emerging through a thrilling Grand Final to deny St Helens an historic treble.
The WSL’s best two sides met in an absorbing showpiece, with history on the line for both sides. Matty Smith’s Saints were looking to complete a clean sweep having already won the Challenge Cup and the League Leader’s Shield in 2024. However, they were ultimately beaten on their own turf here by an outstanding effort against the odds from the Valkyrie in front of a record WSL crowd.
