27 Jul: Women's Challenge Cup Final: Castleford Tigers v Leeds Rhinos 11.15am (OurLeague + BBC Online)

[paulwalker71]

Castleford can feel badly done to there - that was never in touch. Then Leeds score from the resulting scrum!

[SSoutherner]

Leeds break free when under pressure on own line - length of field try under posts 16:10

[SSoutherner]

Dont deal with restart well - Cas start their set on the 15

[SSoutherner]

held up over line on 3rd fail to score and handover

[SSoutherner]

into final 1/4 still 16?;10 to Leeds - difference is Leeds bit more precise, Cas chasing it too much (and Leeds 3 has stolen a couple of balls as well)

[Tommygilf]

Cas will be fuming if they lose this, they've had all the field position. Leeds just taken their chances whereas Cas have bottled a few.

[SSoutherner]

Cas spill the ball in the tackle again and Leeds have on 40m out

[gingerjon]

This is quality defence from Leeds, isn't it?

Only been able to catch the last fifteen minutes or so but enjoying it.

[SSoutherner]

Cas 7 again - need to interchange her, she is trying too hard going for unlikely offloads etc and has lost faith in herself

[SSoutherner]

Great game that - only realised half way through 2nd half (was watching with sound off) that is was raining, until they all tired the handling was real good and the tackling better

[gingerjon]

Decent coverage from the BBC as well. Trailed again on Five Live this morning and then we've had live text to go with the coverage and the link was one of the main stories on the sports page. Don't forget to say hi to the commentators via #bbcrl.

[Davcas1]

Another Cas team bottle another final.

Worse person on the field was the only bloke. From Cas too, what is it with Cas and finals.

[The Hallucinating Goose]

Enjoyed that, good game, decent quality. Womens game is really coming on! 

[Bod]

Well deserved Leeds. Dirty tactics in most tackles from Cas.

[SSoutherner]

interestngly enough my daughter plays u18 Union and the last few years one of the national cup final (def semi finals) teams has always been from RL territory - either West Park St Helens or West Park Leeds for instance

She’s an England player so I doubt it

 

He was over here in 2000 so still a chance.

Plus the highlights of the game shown on BBC One at the start of their live Saturday afternoon semi final coverage too. 

Invaluable exposure for Women’s Rugby League from the Beeb.

The underdog has its day (maybe Fax can repeat)!

Well done Leeds.

Good BBC highlights.

Tweet from the Challenge Cup feed puts the attendance specifically for that game at 4,000.

I'll criticise putting it on the undercard of the men's semi finals but that's a superb foundation we can build from however the final is presented next year.

That's enough sexism.

I really enjoyed that game. My brother came in to the room asking my dad and I why we weren't watching the NRL game (it was Melbourne v Manly I think), and was a bit taken aback when I said because I genuinely couldn't care less who won that game whereas in the WCCF we had a team to support (Leeds). Really enjoyed the game. Yes there were some knock ons and the kicking game wasn't always spectacular but overall given the conditions that's to be expected. Hopefully leads to some greater coverage/prestige of the Womens game.
