RL Commercial Managing Director, Rhodri Jones, said: “Yesterday’s draw has thrown up four intriguing and exciting Semi Finals, which will be held at two superb Rugby League grounds – decided in consultation with all the Clubs – and brought live to millions of viewers at home by BBC Sport. The cup holders of both competitions – St Helens Women and Wigan Warriors – have again made the Semi Finals stage, but they have it all to do against York Valkyrie and Hull KR whose form and playing styles have really caught the eye this season.
He added: “The Betfred Challenge Cup returns to Wembley Stadium in August and the prize for all four Semi Finalists is a Finals Day place and a place in the history books, especially with the Women’s Challenge Cup Final being held at Wembley for the very first time. It promises to be an occasion to remember.”
