‘This win was for the Davy family’ - Dan

-

GIANTS star Danny Brough has dedicated his club’s stunning 31-12 Super League triumph at secondplac­ed Leeds Rhinos to the Davy family.

The club and its supporters were left in shock following the sudden death of Giants owner Ken Davy’s wife, Jennifer, on Wednesday.

It was lifelong Fartown fan Jennifer who sparked Ken’s major interest in Huddersfie­ld RLFC and she was loved and respected by all of the claret and gold community.

And that was reflected by Brough straight after the Giants’ against-allodds victory at Headingley.

“It’s been an awful week for the club,” said Brough.

“Jennifer put her heart and soul into the Giants, and this win is dedicated to the Davy family.

“It was also a very important win for us as a side, because we’ve been struggling over the past few months.

“As a group, we’re obviously delighted to get the victory, and hopefully we can now kick-on from this.

“Our performanc­e wasn’t the greatest, but our attitude was very good. It shows how much harder you are to beat if you’ve got the right attitude.” ■■Wakefield Trinity have centre Joe Arundel and second rower Matty Ashurst back from injury for tomorrow’s home Super League clash with Catalans Dragons.

Veteran full-back and former Giants player Scott Grix is recalled in place of Max Jowitt after being rested for the defeat at Warrington.

Catalans coach Laurent Frayssinou­s sticks with the team that lost at Wigan Warriors with Krisnan Inu, Brayden Wiliame, Greg Bird, Justin Horo, Jodie Broughton, Jason Baitieri and Luke Burgess all still on the injury list.
