Women's Nines return as Giants drawn in Group 4

Women's Nines Rugby League will return to Victoria Park, Warrington next month (Sunday 5 May) after another successful event in 2023.

Last season saw Leeds Rhinos lift the Women’s Nines trophy following a 21-8 defeat of Wigan Warriors - drawn in Group 4 with the Giants - in the Final at Salford Stadium.

This year’s competition will once again see all eight Betfred Women’s Super League sides taking part, alongside teams from the regional Championships including Leigh Leopards, Widnes Vikings and Telford Raiders.

Teams have been drawn into four groups of four with the top team from each – plus two wildcard’s – making it through to Finals Day on Saturday 27 July.

Lori Halloran's side compete with former finalists Wigan Warriors alongside Northern Championship's Salford Red Devils and the Southern Championship's London Broncos in Group 4.

Play will run from 10.30am to 4pm with entry on the day free and much like last year’s event, the occasion will have a festival feel.

RFL Head of Development, Tom Brindle, explains:

“We’re really excited to bring the Women’s Nines back to Victoria Park - Nines is an exciting spectacle, and we’ll see lots of fantastic players showcasing their skills on the day.

“As we saw last year through teams like Wigan Warriors and Cardiff Demons, this format can be extremely competitive and is a great opportunity for younger players to introduce themselves, so I would urge fans to come down and experience it for themselves. There will be a real festival feel once again this year, so it should be a great day."
