Leeds Rhinos’ suffered more heartbreak at the hands of St Helens in a pulsating showdown at AMT Headingley today.
The 16-6 result was Leeds’ third defeat of the season, all to Saints – who also beat them in the Women’s Sevens. Saints were 12-6 victors at TW Stadium in Betfred Women’s Super League and defeated Rhinos 22-0 in the Challenge Cup final at Wembley. They also came out victors when the sides met in the Women’s Nines. Rhinos only first half points came through an early penalty goal from Ruby Enright, but Tara Jones’ try from close range soon afterwards gave Saints a 4-2 interval lead.
Sophie Robinson was inches away from scoring for Leeds at the end of the third quarter, but then Faye Gaskin twisted over for Saints and Zoe Harris’ conversion put the visitors two scores clear.
