    Courtney Winfield-Hill is running the show, as she so often does.

    Caitlin Beevers, con Courtney Winfield-Hill

    Leeds stretch their lead!

    The Rhinos get another set of six after a great kick from Courtney Winfield-Hill comes off a York hand, and with the defence scattered, Caitlin Beevers steps off her left foot and dives over to score her second try.

    Winfield-Hill makes no mistake off the tee - Leeds lead by 12.

    York 0-6 Leeds

    A pinpoint kick from Sam Hulme, and Tara Moxon does what good wingers do, carrying York's Georgia Taylor over the line.

    It means Leeds have a repeat set, and a chance to pile the pressure on.

    York 0-6 Leeds

    Savannah Andrade is scragged just a couple of yards from the Leeds line, and the Rhinos earn a handover.

    Yet another set where York haven't managed to take their chances.

    That stoppage was almost 10 minutes long, and Lucy Murray shows the perils of that, dropping a straightforward pass.

    It gives York a good platform to attack from...

    Shannon Lacey looks in some pain. It doesn't look good and it looks like she's going to be carried off.

    For sure, this will make the girls more determined.

    There's a stoppage here as Shannon Lacey receives medical treatment.

    The Leeds forward looks in a lot of pain - wishing her a speedy recovery.

    Meanwhile, the sets of players are running through some handling drills to keep warm.

    A good set to start the second half from Leeds.

    Knights winger Kelsey Gentles lets Courtney Winfield-Hill's kick bounce, but thankfully for York, the ball bounces safely into touch.

    Leeds have defended their hearts out. When they got the first opportunity they took it and scored.

    Leeds need to take more opportunities and put more scores on the board.

    Earlier on Sunday, Warrington won the Women's Super League Shield Final and promotion to Group One with a 34-6 win over Featherstone Rovers.

    Warrington had won all 12 of their Group Two league games, conceding only 30 points in the process, and Featherstone proved no match for them despite taking the lead through Jess Dadds' try from close range.

    The Wolves replied immediately through Amy Johnson and then opened up a 22-6 lead at the break through two Dani Bound tries and a fourth from Emily Baggaley.

    Lauren Roberts and Georgia Sutherland added further tries after the break, while Michelle Davis kicked five or her six conversion attempts.

    York need to grind them down and not go away from the gameplan. People say York play basic rugby but to be able to execute the basics properly wins you games.

    At some point Leeds will have to crack. This is very much anyone's game.

    The half-time hooter sounds, and the Rhinos head into the break six points in front.

    York have had plenty of chances, but Leeds have repelled everything thrown at them.

    Lois Forsell will be one happy head coach.

    At this point York have got to remember not to panic and play to the gameplan. The tries will come if they can keep Leeds out.

    York 0-6 Leeds

    The Knights get within touching distance of the Rhinos line once again, but they just can't seem to pick the final pass.

    It's fairly remarkably that York haven't scored yet.

    What a tackle from Hannah Butcher!

    The Leeds centre has been colossal in defence, and she cuts down Hollie Dodd just when York looked set to hit back.
