Wigan Warriors have reached the Women's Challenge Cup final for the first time after defeating Leeds Rhinos in York with a score of 44-14. The match saw Wigan dominate from the start, exploiting weaknesses in Leeds' defense to secure a decisive victory.

Anna Davies scored twice within the first 10 minutes, setting the tone for Wigan's commanding performance. Further tries from Georgia Wilson, Grace Banks (2), Megan Williams, and Emily Veivers before halftime left Leeds trailing significantly. The Rhinos faced additional setbacks with Bella Sykes ruled out due to a head injury assessment (HIA) and Ruby Walker sidelined with an ankle injury.

In the second half, Molly Jones and Grace Banks continued Wigan's scoring spree. Leeds managed to respond with tries from Jenna Greening and Tally Bryer, marking the first points Wigan had conceded in their cup run. However, Izzy Rowe quickly retaliated with another try for Wigan, and despite a late try from Mel Howard for Leeds, Wigan's victory was assured.

Leeds had previously won their last 12 encounters with Wigan, including semi-final wins in the past two seasons. This year, however, Wigan overturned that record, demonstrating their strength and determination. The match also featured standout performances from players like Grace Banks, who was named player of the match.

The final score was Leeds (0) 14, with tries from Greening, Bryer, and Howard, along with a goal from Bennett, against Wigan (30) 44, with tries from Davies (2), Wilson, Banks (2), Williams, Veivers, Jones, and Rowe, and goals from Foubister (4). Wigan will now proceed to Wembley to compete against either St Helens or York Valkyrie in the final.
