BWSL: Round 7 Round Up

14 Jul 2025

Wigan Warriors cruised back to the top of the Betfred Women's Super League as they thrashed fifth-placed Huddersfield Giants 76-0.

The unbeaten Warriors ran in 13 tries to move a point clear of St Helens, who remain the only side not to lose to Wigan this season following their 22-22 draw a fortnight ago.

Wigan scored six first-half tries to lead 32-0 at the break, including the first of what would prove to be a hat-trick by centre Molly Jones.

Winger Anna Davies scored twice in a four-minute spell midway through the second half before Jones added two in succession towards the end of the game as Wigan crossed seven more times.

The win bettered their 58-0 victory over the Giants in their first meeting a month ago.

St Helens scored a last-minute converted try to snatch a 22-20 victory over Leeds Rhinos on Friday to keep up the chase on leaders Wigan. This thrilling contest was shown live on Sky Sports.

Caitlin Casey ran through against her former team to level the scores before Faye Gaskin secured the win with the conversion.

Ruby Bruce thought she had scored the deceive try for Leeds in the second half.

But Mel Howard's quickfire double turned the game on its head after Dani McGifford extended Saints' 12-4 half time lead to by four points moments after the restart.

Tally Bryer put the Rhinos ahead early but they missed the conversion and Gaskin successfully kicked her own tries before half-time.

The result means St Helens have maintained their unbeaten start to the season, while Leeds are fourth.

Elsewhere, York Valkyrie consolidated third place with a 28-4 victory at home to sixth-placed Leigh Leopards.

Tries from Evie Sexton, Georgie Dagger and Tamzin Renouf put York 16-4 ahead at the break before Eboni Partington and Agnes Wood crossed in the second half.

Barrow Raiders won their bottom-of-the-table clash with Warrington Wolves 52-10 in Cumbria.

The victory was just Barrow's second of the season - the other coming at Warrington last month - and keeps them second-from-bottom of the table, four points above their winless opponents.
