Leeds Rhinos survived an enthralling Grand Final against York City Knights to become the first two-time champions of the Women’s Super League. Two tries from the full-back Caitlin Beevers were ultimately enough to prevent the Knights, who finished the season top of the table, from becoming the fifth different winner of the WSL in its five-year history.
Instead it is Leeds, the 2019 champions, who secured their second title and kept alive the club’s hopes of a clean sweep of all three Super League titles. Their wheelchair side face Halifax in that competition’s Grand Final next month, while the Rhinos’ men’s side face St Helens at Old Trafford on Saturday in the men’s finale.
