The 2011 Super League Grand Final was the 14th official grand final and the championship-deciding game of the Super League XVI season. It was held on Saturday, 8 October at Manchester, England's Old Trafford stadium. The match was contested by St. Helens and the Leeds Rhinos, who last faced each other in a grand final in 2009. British rock band Feeder were due to provide the pre-match music entertainment, only for their show to be called off due to the pitch being wet and Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson not allowing a stage to be built on the pitch. Leeds won the game by 32 points to 16.https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2011/oct/08/super-league-grand-final-match-report?newsfeed=true Leeds claim Grand Final glory as inspired Rob Burrow sinks St Helens 8 October 2011 The Guardian 11 October 2011https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/rugbyleague/8815944/St-Helens-16-Leeds-32-match-report.html St Helens 16 Leeds 32 8 October 2011 The Daily Telegraph 11 October 2011
