Leeds Rhinos followed Wigan Warriors to landing a first blow in the Super Four stage against York Valkyrie, winning 38-16 at AMT Headingley Stadium.
Four tries from Ruby Enright with one in the first half adding to Evie Cousins' opener and three in the second period ensured the Rhinos were always in a commanding position as the hosts punished sloppy play from Valkyrie.
Two tries from York's Megan Pakulis, the first levelling after Cousins had given Leeds the lead but the second was a consolation with the game firmly in the Rhinos' control.
Emma Kershaw had scored early in the second half to level matters at 10-10 but a stunning 80 metre solo effort from Ebony Stead on 48 minutes put Leeds back in control before Enright's late treble blew York away.
It was a good start to the Super Fours for Lois Forsell's side who followed Wigan in making a winning start after the latter's win over St Helens on Thursday.
