Kaitlin Hilton aims to blaze a trail for Wigan with Women’s Grand Final place

KAITLIN Hilton hopes to achieve top marks by helping Wigan’s women to their Grand Final as the Warriors’ men aim to reach theirs.

That would see them justify the pressure of sharing the billing of belonging to arguably rugby league’s most successful club.

Next week sees the 19-year-old begin her degree course after achieving the grades she wanted in her A-levels.

But first comes the exam she and her team-mates will face at York Valkyrie, with Kaitlin hoping what Matt Peet’s side is on course for can assist Kris Ratcliffe’s.

She said ahead of beginning at Edge Hill University, where she will study educational psychology: “Being a Wigan Warriors player carries that pressure, no matter which side you play for.

“Coming from Wigan and watching the men’s team before the formation of the women’s, it’s quite big especially with how well the men are doing this season.
