2019 Womens Super League Round Three Review

Wigan Warriors Women eased to their first with a 62-0 humbling of York City Knights Ladies. The Warriors struck inside seven minutes through Georgia Wilson before Rachel Thompson crossed for an 8-0 advantage. Wilson claimed her second try with Kate McMullan converting for 14-0 before Thompson matched Wilson with a second score before completing her hat-trick with McMullan kicking for a 26-0 half-time lead.

Wigan continued their dominance with an Amanda Sibbald try ahead of efforts from Gemma Walsh and Sarah Harrison with McMullan converting the lot for a 44-0 lead. York's afternoon only got worse as  Megan Grace-Holding and Vicky Molyneux crossed either side of Thompson's fourth score with McMullan converting all three for a total of nine successes in the 62-0 rout.

St Helens Women remain unbeaten as they cruised to a 54-16 win over Featherstone Rovers Women at the Totally Wicked Stadium. Saints raced out of the blocks with tries from Jodie Cunningham and Tara Jones inside nine minutes before Naomi Williams crossed and Cunningham claimed her second, Faye Gaskin converted twice for 20-0. Fev hit back through Zoe Teece and Grace Hepton with Katherine Hepworth converting once either side of Cunningham's hat-trick try as Saints led 24-10 at the interval.

The hosts took control after the restart with braces from Emily Rudge and Leah Burke coupled with a Zoe Harris try, Gaskin converting twice for 48-10. The Rovers cut the gap with a self converted effort from Hepworth before Williams rounded off the rout with her second try and a Gaskin conversion for 54-16.

Two perfect records went on the line in a Yorkshire derby which saw Castleford Tigers Women ease to a 27-0 win over Leeds Rhinos Ladies. Kelsey Gentles crossed for the the Tigresses for 4-0 after 16 minutes before ex-Rhino Rhiannon Marshall crossed and Tara Stanley converted for a 10-0 lead that soon became 11-0 with a Stanley drop goal.

After the interval, Sinead Peach and Georgia Roche crossed with Stanley converting both for a 23-0 advantage on the hour mark. The rout was complete nine minutes from the end as Gentles claimed her second try for 27-0.

Wakefield Trinity Ladies tough start continued with a 60-6 loss at Bradford Bulls Women. The hosts raced into a 14-0 lead inside 11 minutes as Sarah Dunn, Savannah Andrade and Amy Hardcastle crossed with Leah Jones converting just the latter. Further scores from Stacey Greenwood and Jones sandwiched Hardcastle's second as the Bulls led 26-0 at the interval.

Hardcastle completed her hat-trick before Georgia Cutt replied for Trinity with Emma Ryan kicking for 30-6. Bradford resumed control with Millie Taylor crossing and Jones converting before she improved a second try from Dunn for 42-6. Dunn completed her hat-trick and touched down for a fourth score ahead of a second try from Greenwood with Jones converting twice to round off the 58-6 rout.
