Junior Giants beaten by Wolves

May 31 2005 By The Huddersfield Daily Examiner

HUDDERSFIELD suffered their second defeat in as many Junior Academy Championship games.

Warrington Wolves proved too big and powerful for the young Giants, running out 50-16 winners.

Huddersfield were briefly in contention at 6-4 down when scrum half Paul Mennell crossed from dummy half.

That score came in the 17th minute, but by 25, Warrington were 16-4 ahead.

The home lead was pegged back to 16-10 after 33 minutes when centre Graham Dobbs touched down after a neat pass by stand-off Danny Garside, who converted.

The second half, however, was all Warrington, who were 50-10 ahead after 65 minutes.

The Giants claimed a consolation try with two minutes to go when winger Ryan Heeley, left, went in from another Garside pass.

Garside tagged on the goal for Huddersfield, who suffered a 26-16 loss to Leeds in their first outing.

It was Warrington's first win after defeats by Castleford and Wigan.
