Victory over St Helens to lift the trophy further confirmed the young Warriors side’s emergence as one of the best in 2025 and the squad has been full of praise for each other and coach Denis Betts.
“I’ve been nervous this whole journey but when you’re playing with women as incredible as they are, they help you, they calm you,” said scrum-half Isabel Rowe, who converted all seven tries in the final.
“Denis is amazing, he’s a legend and everybody respects him at the club. He did amazing things when he played and he’s doing amazing things now coaching.”
Warriors centre Georgia Wilson said it was “unreal” to get a taste of success and that all the players were “absolutely buzzing”.
“We’ve been working towards it for the past few years and finally we’ve won a trophy,” she told Sport.
“We knew St Helens had a lot of experience, they’ve been here a few times now. We just knew that we had to compose (ourselves), complete every set, keep calm and stay patient.”
