St Helens achieved a thrilling last-minute victory over Leeds Rhinos, winning 22-20 and climbing to the top of the Betfred Women's Super League.
The match, held at AMT Headingley Stadium, was filled with drama.
St Helens led at halftime 12-4, but Leeds rallied to take a 20-16 lead with just 13 minutes remaining.
A pivotal moment occurred when Leeds captain Mel Howard missed a crucial penalty kick for a high tackle with only four minutes left, a kick that could have sealed the win for Leeds.
Shortly after, a high ball caused confusion in the Leeds defense, allowing Caitlin Casey, a former Rhinos player, to score a try in the corner, leveling the scores at 20-20.
Faye Gaskin then successfully converted the kick, giving St Helens a remarkable two-point victory and sparking jubilant celebrations among the visiting team.
Gaskin reflected on the pressure of the moment, stating: "I knew if I missed it, my nephew Jenson always talks about why I'm so rubbish and misses kicks, so I knew I had to hit that one!"
