Wigan Warriors won their first treble in the women’s game by coming from behind to beat St Helens in the Grand Final at the Brick Community Stadium.
In front of a record crowd of 5,018, Saints looked set to upset the odds at half-time, after tries from Dani McGifford and Phoebe Hook answered Anna Davies’ opener for the Warriors, who had already secured the Challenge Cup and League Leaders’ Shield.
After the break, however, Wigan stepped up a gear, with Molly Jones going over for two tries in the space of five minutes to turn the game on its head before Davies raced away for her second to give Wigan breathing space.
Saints, who were beaten in the Challenge Cup final at Wembley and pipped for the League Leaders’ Shield, rallied with Hook’s second try but could not stop Wigan winning their first Grand Final since 2018.
