Women’s Super League: St Helens and York Valkyrie set for Grand Final

Saints have been the form side in the Women’s Super League this term and are chasing a historic treble.

Matty Smith’s side are chasing their second Women’s Super League title, having already won a second League Leaders’ Shield having recorded 13 victories in 14 regular-season fixtures in 2024.

St Helens also won this season’s Challenge Cup at Wembley, retaining the trophy by beating Leeds Rhinos.

Saints, who beat Wigan Warriors in their play-off semi-final, earned home advantage for the Grand Final having sealed top spot.

For Saints hooker Tara Jones – who has juggled her playing responsibilities with her refereeing career – one of the sweetest parts of challenging for the treble is proving their doubters wrong.

“At the start of the year we did lose a couple of key players to other clubs so others outside of our group might have written us off a little bit and didn’t put us up there,” she told the BBC Radio 5 Live Rugby League podcast.

“Hopefully we’ve proven them wrong with the silverware we’ve lifted so far.

“The girls have stuck together and I’m really proud of the group but that falls into the backroom staff and coaches as well, they do everything they can to put us in the best position.”
