Saracens secured their first Premiership Women’s Rugby title in four years with a commanding victory over Trailfinders, demonstrating a blend of clinical attack, robust defense, and exceptional kicking. Despite facing a 20-minute period with only 14 players, their experience shone through in their sixth final appearance in nine seasons.

Trailfinders, the first-time finalists, aimed to pull off an upset after defeating the three-time defending champions Gloucester-Hartpury in the semi-finals. However, they struggled to capitalize on opportunities, and even Meg Jones’ commendable performance could not turn the tide. Marlie Packer, who scored two tries, played a pivotal role, earning her fourth PWR title and lifting the trophy as co-captain alongside Zoe Harrison.

Key performances included:

• Olivia Apps and Alysha Corrigan, who made significant contributions. Corrigan, in particular, was instrumental with a try and a crucial assist for Sydney Gregson’s score, which solidified Saracens’ dominance.

The final, hosted at the Stoop for the first time in a decade, attracted 8,099 fans, showcasing the growth of women's rugby. The atmosphere was electric, with supporters from both teams filling the stands.

Trailfinders showed early promise, with Jones creating impactful breaks, yet they were continually met by Saracens’ formidable defense. Julia Omokhuale broke the deadlock, followed by Packer’s two tries, leading to a 26-0 halftime advantage.

The second half saw Jess Breach and Corrigan add to the score, while Trailfinders managed consolation tries from Maya Montiel and Alana Borland. Ultimately, Saracens’ depth and experience prevailed, leaving them as the reigning champions and marking a significant milestone in their storied history.
