Wigan thrash Giants to return to top of Women’s Super League

Wigan Warriors cruised back to the top of the Women’s Super League as they thrashed fifth-placed Huddersfield Giants 76-0.

The unbeaten Warriors ran in 13 tries to move a point clear of St Helens, who remain the only side not to lose to Wigan this season following their 22-22 draw a fortnight ago.

Wigan scored six first-half tries to lead 32-0 at the break, including the first of what would prove to be a hat-trick by centre Molly Jones.

Winger Anna Davies scored twice in a four-minute spell midway through the second half before Jones added two in succession towards the end of the game as Wigan crossed seven more times.

Elsewhere York Valkyrie consolidated third place with a 28-4 victory at home to sixth-placed Leigh Leopards.

Tries from Evie Sexton, Georgie Dagger and Tamzin Renouf put York 16-4 ahead at the break before Eboni Partington and Agnes Wood crossed in the second half.

Barrow Raiders won their bottom-of-the-table clash with Warrington Wolves 52-10 in Cumbria.
