2021 was a memorable year for the Club as our Saints men won the ‘Three-peat’ after a third successive Grand Final victory as well as a first Challenge Cup for 13 years, whilst our Women went one better winning a historic treble after an undefeated season!
And in recognition for a fantastic year of rugby league in St Helens, both our Men’s and Women’s teams were nominated for Team of the Year at Sunday night’s BBC Sports Personality of the Year Awards for 2021.
England Men’s football team took home the prize after a gripping summer of football action which saw them lose out to Italy in the Euros Final. The Club wants to congratulate Gareth Southgate and his players on the achievement.
Nonetheless, despite not winning the award, our biggest fan Johnny Vegas did us proud with a quite brilliant summary of our year in the build-up to the award.
