Crucial Betfred Women’s Super League clash to be shown live on The Sportsman

Wednesday’s crucial Betfred Women’s Super League clash between St Helens and York Valkyrie will be shown live on The Sportsman (31 July, 7.30pm).

A win for Saints will see them leapfrog above Leeds Rhinos and Wigan Warriors into top spot, while a win for York would see them draw level on points with the three sides currently sitting above them as the battle for play-off positions intensifies.

The two sides have met twice already this year, reigning champions Valkyrie sinking Saints with a last-gasp Carrie Roberts try at the LNER Stadium in the opening league encounter of the season and St Helens exacting sweet revenge with a convincing Betfred Challenge Cup semi-final win at Doncaster in May.

Lindsay Anfield’s charges will travel to the Totally Wicked Stadium desperately seeking to put last week’s home defeat to Wigan Warriors behind them, while Matty Smith’s St Helens are looking to keep their 100% home record intact.

Coverage begins from 7.15pm on The Sportsman’s dedicated Rugby League YouTube channel.
