Caitlin Casey hoists a perfect high-kick on the last tackle and Phoebe Hook is pinned in-goal by the Rhinos after taking it safely.

Good start in attack and defence from Leeds.

Good work from the Leeds Rhinos defence as they force an early turnover as St Helens fail to complete their set.

This stadium has done weird and wonderful things in the men's game over the years.

For these girls, once they get their early touch and contact out the way, it's just the 80 minutes in front of them.

The Challenge Cup holders versus the Super League winners.

One side of the Pennines versus the other.

Abide with Me and the National Anthem beautifully sung by Lizzie Jones.

Let's do this!

There is just one change to the St Helens line-up from their dramatic 17-16 win over York Knights in the semi-final.

Philippa Birchall comes in for Darcy Stott in the front row, while they will be led as ever by England captain Jodie Cunningham.

St Helens: Harris; Hook, Travis, McColm, Partington; Taylor, Gaskin; Crowl, Jones, Birchall, Hoyle, Rudge, Cunningham (c).

Interchanges: Williams, Whitfield, Sams, Mottershead.

Leeds have two alterations to their starting XIII from the hard fought semi-final success over Wigan Warriors at Headingley.

Sophie Nuttall replaces Tara Moxon on the wing and Jasmine Cudjoe comes in for Keara Bennett at hooker.

Leeds: Enright; Nuttall, Butcher (c), Beevers, Robinson; Casey, Greening; Anderson, Cudjoe, Hornby, Murray, Hardcastle, Dainton.

Interchanges: Frain, Hayward, Moxon, Northrop.

Faye Gaskin's drop-goal with 30 seconds remaining booked St Helens' historic trip to Wembley today after their 17-16 Challenge Cup semi-final win over York last month.

In a thrilling encounter, York had levelled through Tara Stanley's penalty with just eight minutes left on the clock.

Stanley, however, then missed a drop-goal attempt of her own.

The see-saw tied ended thanks to Gaskin's heroics after Saints hit back through Shona Hoyle, Luci McColm and Tara Jones.

Watch the highlights of that thriller below:

Leeds were made to work for their place at Wembley today after they overcame a resolute Wigan in their semi-final.

Amy Hardcastle had put the Rhinos ahead but Beri Salihi levelled for Wigan at 4-4 shortly afterwards.

Caitlin Beevers then sent Leeds back ahead on the hour mark with Tara Moxon's addition sending them to the capital.

St Helens captain Jodie Cunningham is no stranger to the Challenge Cup having won the competition on six occasions.

In the past she has played in finals as varied as Dewsbury, Batley, Odsal and Leigh as well as last year's triumph at Elland Road.

But this year she will compete for silverware at Wembley Stadium in a historic final.

"My parents were saying to me - 'you're a generation too early' with all the good things that are happening now and I'm one of the senior players," Cunningham told BBC Radio Merseyside.

"But I count myself lucky that I got the opportunity to see it grow, and I've grown with it so I think you probably appreciate it a bit more because I've been there when it's been rubbish and nobody cared.

"To go to the opposite end of the spectrum where everyone talks so highly about the women's game, wants a piece of it and is interested, it's a privilege to have seen it go through this growth."

Leeds were edged out by St Helens in last year's Challenge Cup final at Elland Road, with the Red Vee sealing their second win in a row in the competition.

Despite the occasion, Leeds captain Hanna Butcher knows that any pre-match nerves will be shaken off early on.

"I hope I don't come across as emotional, but there'll definitely be some goose bumps walking out there," Butcher told BBC Radio Leeds.

"Hopefully within the first five minutes, everybody's nerves will calm down, but all the women on both teams - this is something we need to be proud of.

"It's going to be a really tough contest, a close game and I think it'll come down to game management."

Today's showpiece is the shattering of a glass ceiling for the women's game, as Leeds Rhinos and St Helens walk out at Wembley for the first time in a Challenge Cup final on this ground.

The buzz from the players has been tangible since they booked their spots after the semi-finals, and their excitement has helped bring a new dimension to the final.

Walking around the stadium last night and this morning, there are plenty who have made the trip for this game in particular, with Saints and Leeds scarves and shirts on show.

As for the game itself, it is fitting that this occasion be contested by two genuine heavyweights, sides packed with England talent and recognisable faces such as Jodie Cunningham, Amy Hardcastle and Emily Rudge.

Hopefully it is the start of a fantastic day for rugby league and it lives up to the billing.

There is nowhere quite like Wembley.

The arch that appears on the horizon. The appearance of the stadium from the top steps at Wembley Park tube station. The sporting legends that have gone before.

It never fails to get the heart beating that little bit quicker.

So imagine the feeling for the Leeds and St Helens players as they prepare for the first ever women's Challenge Cup final in this magical venue.

What a historic afternoon we have in prospect.
