St.Helens' First Team and Reserves are both in match action this coming weekend!
A spot in the Betfred Challenge Cup Quarter Finals is up for grabs on Friday night at the Home of the Saints – Totally Wicked Stadium. Then on Saturday, our young Saints in the Reserves will have Derby Day away at Robin Park Arena!
Two big matches, and all the main information you need to know can be found below.
FRIDAY
First Team vs Leeds Rhinos (H) [Challenge Cup]
The Saints will face the Rhinos at this stage of the Challenge Cup for a second successive year, but this time we have the home advantage. Last year’s Cup meeting saw the Red V earn a 6-20 victory with tries from Daryl Clark, Jon Bennison, and Alex Walmsley, and Captain Jonny Lomax kicked two conversions and two penalties.
Paul Wellens’ men will be looking to respond strongly to our first defeat of the 2025 season last Friday night, 10-20 to Hull KR. Leeds are also smarting after suffering a loss last week, 11-0, to Catalans Dragons in France on Saturday evening.

SATURDAY
Reserves vs Wigan Warriors (A)
One week removed from the start of the new Reserves Championship season, Ian Talbot’s Saints team go over Billinge Hill and into enemy territory for the first Derby Day of 2025, and a repeat of last year’s Reserves Grand Final which saw the Red V beat the Warriors in an enthralling contest.
The majority of our Reserves squad this season will be made up of Academy talents stepping up for more senior experience. Stars of our future could be sharpening their tools and putting themselves in the window for future First Team selection.
Saints lost out last Saturday afternoon to Hull KR at home, with the Robins’ First Team experienced men proving to be the difference. Meanwhile, Wigan got the job done in their opener at Laund Hill in Huddersfield to beat the Giants.
So, our Reserves will be motivated to get one over our nearest and dearest foes and secure the first win of the year in the competition.
- Saturday, 15th March 2025
- Kick off 12pm
- Robin Park Arena, WN5 0UH
