LEIGH LEOPARDS are through to the Women’s Challenge Cup quarter-finals after receiving a walkover for their final group-stage fixture.
Sheffield Eagles have withdrawn from Sunday’s scheduled fixture because they are unable to raise a team.
It comes after Sheffield’s game against Leeds Rhinos last week was ended after 60 minutes, at 104-0 down, because injuries had seen them reduced to just nine players.
The non-fulfilment of the fixture will be reviewed by RFL Compliance.
Leigh, who have been awarded a 48-0 win, proceed to the quarter-finals as runners-up in Group Three and will next play York Valkyrie.
