St Helens maintained their 100% start to the Women's Super League season and went to the top of the standings with a 46-0 win over Featherstone Rovers.
Saints ran in ten tries in a dominant display against a Rovers side that slipped to their third league defeat in four matches.
Olivia Leach gave the visitors the ideal start after six minutes, selling a dummy to go over for the opener before Hollie Bawden doubled the advantage with a try down the right.
Just before half-time, Rachael Woosey dotted down for Saints on their attacking left edge, and moments after the break Leach claimed her second try of the match.
Bawden doubled her tally, capitalising on a knock on from Featherstone, and then grabbed a hat-trick shortly afterwards, receiving a short ball from Faye Gaskin to power over close to the line.
Gaskin got her name on the scoresheet with 13 minutes left, as winger Dani McGifford and hooker Caitlin Casey added tries late on, before full-back Leach completed her hat-trick two minutes from time, going in at the right-hand corner.
