SUCCESS IN PERPIGNAN WILL LIFT GIANTS INTO SUPER LEAGUE’S TOP EIGHT

-

coach Rick Stone’s side firmly in the driver’s seat when it comes to avoiding another scrap in the Middle 8s.

England internatio­nal centre Cudjoe feels the win over Warrington could be the perfect impetus and said: “It was good to get the win against the Wolves.

“I thought we started with some good energy and intent which helped us massively.

“We defended well for the majority of the game and scrambled well too, which made a big difference in the game.”

Scotland skipper Danny Brough returned after suspension at half back and Cudjoe felt that the playmaker and new signing Jordan Turner could give the Giants a boost at a crucial time in the campaign.

“Having Broughy return for us added some spark to our attack, as did Jordan Turner making his debut,” added Cudjoe.

“I thought both came into the team and contribute­d very well, but the key now is making sure we build on the Warrington win.

“I’m sure we will take some confidence from that game into the match with Catalan Dragons on Saturday.”

The Giants are pleased to announce that the annual Giants Twenty20 Cricket Family Funday, in associatio­n with Hinchliffe’s Farm Shop, will take place on Sunday, June 25.

The popular fan event at Honley CC is also supported by Barclays and Netherton Community Centre and Honley Stoney Lane Community Centre.

The cricket day is one of the most popular days in the Giants calendar and supporters can get their tickets now from the John Smith’s Stadium ticket office or buy on the day – prices are £3 for adults, £1 children and under 5s get in for free.
