Huddersfield Giants ended a 12-match Super League losing streak by beating York Knights 24-22, securing their first victory since 4 April and first under head coach Jim Lenihan. The result offers a boost to a side still bottom of the table, although they had to withstand a late York comeback after building a 14-point lead.

Huddersfield led 24-10 with 10 minutes remaining after Zac Woolford’s try, but York scored twice through Jordan Thompson and Tom Inman to make the final minutes tense. Tui Lolohea scored once and created tries for Lewis Jagger and Connor Wrench, while Huddersfield reduced the gap to Hull FC in second-bottom to four points; York’s recent momentum has stalled after consecutive defeats.
