Wigan Warriors Women will take on rivals St Helens in the Betfred Women’s Super League semi-finals following their 24-4 defeat to Leeds Rhinos.

The top four in the BWSL will play off for a place in the Grand Final, which will be played at home ground of the finalist ranked highest on October 6, live on Sky Sports.

Denis Betts’ side finish the season in fourth spot, with rivals Saints lifting the League Leaders’ Shield following their win over Barrow Raiders Ladies.

The semi-finals will both be played on Sunday, September 22, (kick-offs 5pm and 7.30pm), and shown live on Sky Sports.

Friday marked the third double-header of the year at the Brick Community Stadium, with Matt Peet’s side also taking on Brad Arthur’s Leeds Rhinos in the penultimate game of the Men’s Super League campaign.

Leeds Rhinos gained an early lead on eight minutes in the Women’s encounter. Forward Ella Donnelly breaking through the middle, stopped short by a scrambling Grace Banks and Anna Davies. But scrum-half Caitlin Casey spotted a gap close to the line on the next play to make it 4-0.

A magnificent effort from Georgia Wilson almost levelled the scores just minutes later, only to ground a grubber kick on the dead-ball line.
