    Leeds have had to do a lot of defending, but you can't fault their defensive efforts. They have all come together and are working really hard.

    That's what this game is going to come down to - the desire and energy to win this.

    Tara Stanley glides into a huge gap to dive over the Leeds line.

    However, the gap was there thanks to a not-so-subtle piece of obstruction in the build-up.

    Leeds win the penalty and escape.

    York 0-6 Leeds

    Courtney Winfield-Hill is the orchestrator-in-chief for Leeds, and she puts Lucy Murray into space.

    Leeds should stretch their lead, but Murray gets caught in two minds and York recover just in time.

    York 0-6 Leeds

    York are just turning the screw here.

    Keara Bennett cannot gather Sinead Peach's grubber kick, and it means the Knights get a full set on the Leeds line.

    Some loose handling from the Rhinos gets York out of trouble, before the dancing feet of Sinead Peach takes York deep into Leeds territory.

    Leeds certainly took their chance there. Leeds were under pressure in the first five minutes, but as soon as they have been able to put pressure on York, they have not been able to handle it.

    Against the run of play, Leeds open the scoring!

    It's all about Courtney Winfield-Hill - she takes the ball down the short side, delays her pass, and puts Caitlin Beevers into a hole.

    The Rhinos full back jinxes past the last defender to score.

    Winfield-Hill adds the extras.

    The majority of the first few minutes have been played within 60m of the Leeds try-line. York could not have asked for a better start.

    York 0-0 Leeds

    York look threatening every time they come forward - plenty of runners for the first receiver to choose from.

    Leeds win a penalty though, which gets them up the field and releases some of the pressure.

    Hollie Dodd bounces out of a tackle, and offloads cleverly.

    The players are out in St. Helens.
