York Valkyire became the first team to win back-to-back Women’s Super League titles with a dominant 18-8 victory over St Helens in the Grand Final.
St Helens took in a slender two-point lead at the break after a frenetic first half, a Leah Burke try and two Faye Gaskin penalties giving them the advantage.
York Valkyrie hit back through a converted Lacey Owen effort but went in 8-6 down, their own errors costing them.
However, the Valkyrie came out in the second half and immediately took charge, tries from Eboni Partington and Kelsey Gentles, plus huge conversions from Rhiannion Marshall giving them an 18-8 lead that St Helens could not counter.
