As principal sponsor of the Swinton Lionesses, Global 13 is proud to look back on a season filled with progress, resilience, and history-making achievements.
In their first year in the Championship, the Lionesses established themselves as a rising force in women’s rugby league. The Lionesses delivered standout performances on and off the field:
-
5th place finish in their debut Championship campaign, narrowly missing the playoffs on points difference
-
Winners of the Challenge Shield
-
Winners of the inaugural Pankhurst Cup
-
Semi-finalists at the Women’s Nines Festival, finishing as the highest-ranked Championship team
-
11 wins from 14 league matches, an impressive record at this level
-
11 Lionesses and 2 coaches selected for international duty, underlining the quality within the squad
-
Significant growth in community support and digital presence throughout the season
While there was some disappointment in missing out on the playoffs, the 2025 campaign showcased the Lionesses’ rapid development. It proves there is a strong foundation being built for the future.
At Global 13, we are proud to stand alongside the Lionesses as they continue to grow the game, inspire the next generation, and push the boundaries of women’s rugby league. This season is only the beginning, and the best is yet to come.
