Neilson has been appointed as a touch judge for the Women's Challenge Cup decider between Leeds Rhinos and St Helens, which will be refereed by Aaron Moore.

The 32-year-old was a touch judge for Hull FC's win over Wigan Warriors in 2017 and has twice performed the role of video referee in Challenge Cup finals.
Wigan and Warrington Wolves will contest this year's decider, the second of three senior finals at 3pm.
Leeds native Tom Grant will be the man in the middle for the 1895 Cup final between Sheffield Eagles and Wakefield Trinity, his first Wembley refereeing appointment.
