St Helens 88-0 British Army: ruthless and clinical from start to finish

The British Army were out gunned by triple champions St Helens in a second group stage match of the Betfred Women’s Challenge Cup at the Totally Wicked Stadium at the weekend.

Ruthless and clinical from start to finish, St Helens plundered no fewer than 17 tries and when the final hooter sounded the visitors breathed a sigh of relief!

The hosts will face stiffer tests as the new season progresses but can only improve and that’s a warning to any other team wanting to take over their mantle.
