Giants and Sezer underline gulf as they cruise to victory
work in yardage as the visitors repeatedly worked the ball out of their own territory.
Fax didn’t do much wrong in the opening minutes, but once the home side took a sixthminute lead through Jordan Turner, Sezer converting from the sideline for a 6-0 advantage, they found themselves unable to half Huddersfield’s momentum at the ruck.
And with time and space to play with, the Giants’ Halifaxborn hooker Adam O’Brien, who was so impressive in two loan appearances for Fax a few years ago, Sezer and young half back partner Oliver Russell started to wreak havoc.
The visitors’ defence had done well to deny prop Matty English by the time the Giants put on a runaround on the left and O’Brien’s deft kick was pounced on by Turner, Sezer again converting from close to the sideline.
New full back signing Ashton Golding scored next, again down Fax’s left, when Russell slipped him a neat inside ball.
Sezer converted again and was almost inevitably on target when McGillvary marked his big day with an easy run to the line from Turner’s pass.
That made it 24-0 after half an hour and it was only then that Fax finally managed to stem their hosts’ momentum and generate some of their own, Paul Brearley winning a penalty on half way and then being held up over the whitewash as the visitors finally got the chance to attack.
That was how it stayed until the break and it was Fax, despite the fatigue they had accumulated during the first half, who scored first in the second half, Broughton touching down after a neat kick from full back Scott Grix.
With both coaches gradually removing their senior players, Huddersfield responded with a 63rd minute try from back rower Owen Trout before a stunning solo score from teenager Jordan Paga and a last-play touchdown from Darnell McIntosh rounded off the scoring.
