Wigan Warriors further established themselves as the dominant force in women’s rugby league with a 54-6 thrashing of St Helens in Saturday’s Challenge Cup final at Wembley.

Wigan – treble winners in 2025 after lifting Super League, League Leaders’ Shield and Challenge Cup titles – scored 10 tries in 2026’s final through Georgia Wilson, Eva Hunter (four tries), Beri Salihi, Anna Davies (two), Grace Banks and Remi Wilton, utterly dominating from the off.

Izzy Rowe also added seven conversions with the boot, while all St Helens could register was a Luci McColm try.

The final proved bitterly disappointing for Saints – who won the Challenge Cup four years in a row between 2021 and 2024 – and all the more so as captain Jodie Cunningham and vice-captain Emily Rudge are retiring at the end of this season after glittering careers.
