Saracens Women claimed the PWR Cup for the 12th time with a thrilling win over London rivals Harlequins at the StoneX Stadium. Completing an unbeaten campaign, Sarries lifted the trophy in style, providing a fairytale finale for Bryony Cleall as she retires after 27 years in the game.


The match began at a frenetic pace, with both sides scoring inside the first ten minutes. Saracens opened the scoring after a penalty earned in the Quins half was kicked to the corner and executed with a powerful catch-and-drive, allowing Liz Crake to touch down under the posts. Harlequins quickly responded through Lauren Torley, finishing a slick backs move following a kick-and-drive sequence.
Sarries then scored two further tries from well-worked set pieces and driving mauls, with Bryony Field and Crake again crossing before the 30-minute mark. Quins reduced the deficit with Katie Shillaker touching down late in the first half.
The second half continued in the same back-and-forth style. Quins started strongly with Beth Wilcocks and Torley crossing early, but Sarries responded through Sellors, Poppy Cleall, and a brilliant solo effort from Charlotte Wright-Haley. Quins replied once more with Ella Cromack, who converted her own try. The game was sealed with a late penalty from Amelia MacDougall, confirming Saracens as back-to-back PWR Cup champions.
