Lord Mayor of Leeds Councillor Al Garthwaite said:

Leeds City Council executive member for adult social care, public health and active lifestyles Councillor Salma Arif added:

“Good luck to Leeds Rhinos in what should be a terrific rematch of last year’s Women’s Challenge Cup Final between two great teams, with Leeds hopefully going one better this time. It is fantastic for the final to be held at Wembley for the first time, showcasing elite women’s sport to the world and inspiring people of all ages to be healthy and active.”
