Huddersfield revival continues with win over York

Huddersfield’s revival under interim head coach Liam Finn continued with a 34-14 Super League win over York on Saturday.

The Giants made a fast start at the Accu Stadium, racing into an 18-8 half-time lead after three early tries. They then pulled away again after the break, with Jacob Gagai scoring twice and Zac Woolford adding a late interception try.

York stayed in touch for spells and got on the board through debutant Will Roberts, David Nofoaluma and Nikau Williams, but they could not stop Huddersfield from closing out a second straight league victory.

The result is significant for Huddersfield, who have now recorded back-to-back Super League wins for the first time since August 2025. It also came in a high-profile Rivals Round fixture, with the official competition and club pages confirming the match at the Accu Stadium on Saturday.

BBC Sport’s first report of the game described Huddersfield’s early burst as decisive, and the scoreline reflected the home side’s control once they had established their first-half advantage.

For Huddersfield, the performance adds momentum to a recovery that has begun to show signs of progress. For York, it was a competitive outing on their first modern Super League visit to Huddersfield, but one that ended in defeat.
