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.

Wigan Warriors’ Anna Davies speaking to BBC:

“I’m a bit speechless. I thought last year was a statement but I think today the pressure was on us to do it and be able to execute it again.

“I thought it would be a real battle today because they’re coming for us and to be able to weather that storm at the start was a bit chaotic, but we got our composure back and we were able to execute it at the end and we were able to enjoy it and relax into it. I think that’s where we play our best.

“I’m really thankful for the opportunity to play here and to be able to do it with the girls.”
