Wigan 6-6 York Valkyrie
Gemma Kay
Former York Valkyrie player on BBC Radio YorkIt was a bit of a switch off by York and we've said in the first 20 minutes that they've been brilliant defensively and keeping the field position, but it was just that little breakthrough and this is why Wigan are so dangerous. They pick gaps out of solid wood, it's unreal.

Mia-Jayne Atherton, con Rowe
Image source, SWPixWigan hit back!
It's superb from Woman of Steel nominee Jenna Foubister.
Her line break presents Wigan with a fantastic opportunity as Foubister unselfishly finds Mia-Jayne Atherton on her inside to slide over next to the sticks.
Isabel Rowe adds the extras so we're back to all square.

Wigan's Mary Coleman receives a brief bit of treatment following a collision but she looks OK to continue.

Wigan 0-6 York Valkyrie
Gemma Kay
Former York Valkyrie player on BBC Radio YorkYork have had brilliant field position but it comes from that determination that they've had.
This confidence that they've had, especially in the last two games York have played, is showing so far.

Wigan 0-6 York
York smell blood here.
There is a bit of a hot potato situation with several back handed offloads on the last play but Wigan's defence stands strong again.
Turnover ball.

Wigan 0-6 York
Wigan are really being tested early on.
They have to be alive to prevent a second quickfire try. Good goal line defending sees a turnover just a couple of metres short.
'Brilliant work from York'published at 17:43 BST 27 September
Wigan 0-6 York Valkyrie
Gemma Kay
Former York Valkyrie player on BBC Radio YorkWhat a start for York!
It's been brilliant defending so far in this game and it's the taliswoman of this York Valkyrie today, Sinead Peach.
Brilliant breakthrough the centre, good defending by Wigan to keep her pinned down but it's brilliant work from York. They stayed calm under pressure, lovely little dummy from Sinead and she goes over bang in front of the sticks.

Sinead Peach, con Ellie Williamson
Image source, SWPixThis is a brilliant opening try.
Sinead Peach makes an excellent carry initially. Her hard work is supported by another good run from Agnes Wood and York are in a great position.
Peach does the necessary, twisting and turning to dive over under the sticks from dummy half.
The try is converted by Ellie Williamson.

Former York Valkyrie player on BBC Radio YorkAdaoha Akwiwu's had a really good season. She got a try against Leeds last week. She's just a brilliant player to have in this game.

Wigan 0-0 York
A kick in behind on the last by York's Ellie Williamson is really well taken by Ellise Derbyshire but a good chase from Valkyrie sees them make good ground.

Six again for Wigan for an offside committed by York.
However, Wigan are unable to make it count. Remi Wilton is guilty of a knock on.

Wigan 0-0 York Valkyrie
Gemma Kay
Former York Valkyrie player on BBC Radio YorkWigan are going into this as favourites, but that defensive display from York Valkyrie was probably the best defensive display I've seen for a lot of years.
Wigan will be big, fast and tough today, they've had a week off, but for me I can't call it.

A handling error early on from Eva Hunter who knocks on under pressure gives possession back to York who are set for their first set of six in this Grand Final.
