Giants beat Raiders as Featherstone see off Leigh
Huddersfield Giants beat Barrow Raiders while Featherstone Rovers see off Leigh Leopards in the Women's Super League.
The Huddersfield Giants delivered an impressive 42-0 victory over the Barrow Raiders at Craven Park in the Women's Super League. Winger Mollie Iceton and full-back Amelia Brown each scored two tries in the first half, putting the Giants 24 points ahead at halftime. Iceton added a hat-trick and a fourth try later, while Samantha Hulme and Madison Clegg each scored to cement the Giants' impressive win, marking their fifth consecutive victory over the bottom-placed Raiders.
With only two matches remaining in the regular season, the Raiders now face a relegation play-off against the top-ranked Championship team, currently Swinton Lionesses. Meanwhile, Featherstone Rovers secured a comfortable 30-0 win over Leigh Leopards at Post Office Road. Ellie Lamb opened the scoring for Featherstone, followed by Aaliyah Brewster just before halftime.
Kate Evans extended the lead in the second half, and Cerys Gregory scored her first try for Featherstone with under 20 minutes left, while Chloe Billington's late try sealed the win. This victory puts Rovers four points ahead of second-bottom Leopards, who will face the Giants in the Shield Final.
