York City Knights have been awarded a 24-0 win over St Helens after the Saints were unable to fulfil their Women's Super League fixture on Sunday.

St Helens confirmed a positive Covid-19 test within their team, with a number of other players now self-isolating.

Saints pulled out of the fixture on Saturday after additional injuries left them with only 14 available players.

However, as fewer than seven players were ruled out because of coronavirus the RFL awarded York a victory.

The result meant Saints remain in fourth in the table and the Knights in fifth.

Elsewhere in Women's Super League on Sunday, Georgia Wilson scored two tries as second-placed Wigan ended Castleford's unbeaten start to the season with a 22-8 victory.

Leeds remain top of the table after they ran out 42-10 winners at Bradford Bulls and Warrington cruised to a thumping 52-14 home win over winless Wakefield.
