Huddersfield Inter-district Veterans have a crunch match against leaders Castleford next up after drawing their latest encounter 28-28 with West Riding.

It was not the result Huddersfield were hoping for, but not entirely disastrous either as they remain within 18 points of the table-toppers.

The next fixture will clearly be a crucial challenge for our teams which may well be a turning point for Huddersfield.
