Women to play Featherstone
Following the final round of group stage games, the Quarter Finalists of the Betfred Women’s Challenge Cup are now known with Wigan Warriors to face Featherstone Rovers away from home at the Millennium Stadium.
St Helens secured top spot in Group A – and a home tie against Group B runner-up Huddersfield Giants – courtesy of a commanding 42-0 win at Warrington Wolves.
The Wolves still qualify for the Quarter Finals as Group A runner-up, but must travel to face Leeds Rhinos who were in outstanding form as they defeated Leigh Miners Rangers Women 92-0 to clinch first place in Group B.
York City Knights’ handsome Group C victory at Bradford Bulls last week had already earned them a Quarter Final home tie against the runner-up in Group D, who was confirmed as Oulton Raidettes after the thriving community club overcame Wakefield Trinity 14-12.
Last week’s win over Dewsbury Moor had guaranteed Wigan Warriors runner up place in Group C – and their Quarter Final opponents were confirmed as Featherstone Rovers, whose demolition derby with local rivals Castleford Tigers saw them clinch top spot in Group D.
