The Girls League Premier Divisions' semi-finals will take place on Saturday 5th September, with Under 14s, Under 15s and Under 16s sides competing for a coveted place in the Grand Finals next weekend at Batley Bulldogs on Saturday 12th.
After a competitive season across the age groups, the Play-Offs will showcase the strength of the Girls League and the bright future of the female game.
Semi-Finals Preview:
Under 14s
Thatto Heath Crusaders enter the Under 14s Play-Offs as League Leaders after winning 13 of their 14 games. They will face fourth-placed Shaw Cross Sharks, the only side to take points from Thatto this season after a 16-16 draw.
In the other semi-final, second-placed Myton Warriors meet third-placed Rose Bridge Pantheresses. Myton won both league meetings, but the narrow margins mean this tie is still finely balanced.
Fixtures:

Hull KR, last season’s League and Cup winners, continue their push for more silverware after finishing as League Leaders in the Under 15s division. They will take on Siddal in the first semi-final.
The second semi-final sees Dewsbury Moor face Culcheth Eagles. Dewsbury Moor finished second and will be aiming to reach the final, but Culcheth Eagles have already beaten them this season and will provide strong opposition.
