SAINTS Women are still on course for completing the trophy treble after lifting the League Leaders' Shield to add to the Challenge Cup they won at Wembley in June.
And their Betfred Women’s Super League semi-final date has now been confirmed following the end of the regular season.
Both Saints and Leeds Rhinos are poised for home ties next Sunday (22 September) – both live on Sky Sports.
Saints finished the regular season in style with a dominant 68-0 win against Barrow Raiders before lifting the League Leaders' Shield at the Totally Wicked Stadium on Friday evening.
Winger Leah Burke and Paige Travis both scored hat-tricks - Burke's treble making her Super League's top try scorer with 25.
Katie Mottershead, Zoe Harris and Tara Jones also crossed the whitewash in the one-sided encounter against the Cumbrians.
Matty Smith’s side now set to face Wigan Warriors at home on Sunday (KO 7.30pm) following their 24-4 loss to Leeds at The Brick Community Stadium.
The fixture will be part of a historic double header of women’s sport as Liverpool FC also begin their new campaign against Leicester City at 2pm with the stadium set to be turned over from Football to Rugby League in just a matter of hours.
Leeds will face York Valkyrie at AMT Headingley (KO 5pm) in a repeat of last year’s Grand Final at the LNER Community Stadium where the Valkyrie triumphed 16-6.
Both Betfred Women’s Super League semi-finals will take place live on Sky Sports with Leeds Rhinos v York Valkyrie kicking things off at 5pm before coverage turns to Saints v Wigan Warriors from 7.30pm.
The winners from both fixtures will then battle it out for the Super League crown on Sunday 6 October which will be played at home ground of the finalist ranked highest at the end of the regular season, also live on Sky Sports (KO 4.30pm).
If Saints win their semi, that means the Grand Final will be held at Totally Wicked Stadium.
