Two mistakes were ruthlessly punished as Leeds Rhinos’ reign as Betfred Women’s Super League champions was ended 16-6 in Sunday’s Grand Final by York Valkyrie.
Rhinos trailed 6-2 but were putting hosts York under heavy pressure when Caitlin Beevers spilled a high kick to lift the siege. That led to York’s Tara-Jane Stanley booting a penalty goal for a ball steal in front of the posts. In the next set, Sophie Nuttall - who had returned from a head injury assessment - knocked on in similar fashion and Lacy Owen crossed for a converted try which made it 16-2 and left Leeds with too much to do.
The hooter went, York players began celebrating and Caitlin Casey ran through to score Leeds’ only try. They didn’t bother with a conversion attempt. York opened the scoring on 15 through Tamzin Renouf, from Live Gale’s pass. That came off what looked like a harsh penalty for a ball steal and Leeds were unlucky to be called offside when Stanley spilled Caitlin Casey’s kick on the hosts’ line.
