Leeds Rhinos women picked up their second Betfred Super League title after beating York City Knights 12-4 at The Totally Wicked Stadium in St Helens on Sunday afternoon.
Two tries from England outside-back Caitlin Beevers on either side of the break were enough to see the Rhinos women cap off another superb 2022 season for Lois Forsell's side. York dummy-half Sinead Peach tried her best to get the City Knights back into the contest with an outstanding individual effort. However, the Rhinos held on to record a famous victory, as the club are now embarking on what could be a historic week which has now been started off in the best possible way.
Early in the second half, there was a lengthy delay due to an injury sustained by Leeds' substitute Shannon Lacey, who eventually, after 10 minutes on the ground, was stretchered from the field with a brace on her right ankle, which has put the England forward's World Cup dream hanging by a thread.
