The England Lionesses sealed the 2016 Women’s Associations Cup with a hard-earned 36-14 win over England Students at Featherstone Rovers’ BigFellas Stadium on Sunday.
The Students needed a 46-point win to steal the trophy from the Lionesses, but that result never looked likely as the eventual champions led 22-0 at the break.
Sarah Harrison’s two-try haul set them on their way, while substitute Rhiannon Marshall ended the afternoon with a try and a goal to her name, as Kayleigh Bulman, Amy Hardcastle, Lois Forsell and Viki Pinks all notched four-pointers.

In the afternoon’s other game, GB Teachers avoided finishing bottom of the Women’s Associations Cup table by overcoming GB Armed Forces 32-14.
A win by 23 points or more would have seen the Forces move up to third in the table, but they were 12-4 down at half time.
Jade Newman notched a hat trick on the losing side with the Teachers taking the spoils as Meganne Summers, Faye Gaskill, who kicked six goals, Charlene Heneghan, Kath Organ and Chantelle Crowl (pictured) all bagged tries to round off a comfortable afternoon for the Teachers, who ended the campaign in second place.
