St Helens and York face off in Leigh on Saturday in front of the BBC’s cameras – the final’s first nationally broadcast outing
Women’s rugby league has made some encouraging strides in the four years since the formation of the Women’s Super League. However, on Saturday afternoon the sport will be presented with perhaps its most significant moment yet as it is showcased to the nation for the first time.
The men’s Challenge Cup semi-finals will be staged in a double-header live on the
BBC, but before those the final of the women’s competition will also be screened on national television for the first time, as St Helens and York City Knights square off in Leigh.
