Leeds won their second successive Women's Challenge Cup with a 16-10 win over Castleford on Saturday.

A former Big Bash cricketer was the hero as Leeds retained the Coral Women's Challenge Cup in Bolton.

The teams were level at 10-10 at half-time and the only try of the second half came from captain and half-back Courtney Hill, a former cricketer with Brisbane Heat who emigrated to England in 2018 and was in the Rhinos team that won the cup that year.
