The official launch of the new book ‘Standing on the Shoulders of Giants: A History of Rugby League in Huddersfield’ has taken place at the Senior Giants meeting at Canalside.

There was a good turn-out to hear all about the production of the book, with a number of sales having been made.

And those are expected to increase considerably at its public unveiling at the Waterstones store in Huddersfield town centre on Saturday (between 10.30am and 12.30pm).

To give the event extra appeal, Huddersfield Giants homegrown stars Eorl Crabtree and Michael Lawrence will be in attendance from 11.30am, while former Fartown favourites Derek Wroe, Gary Senior, Ian Van Bellen and Ken Boothroyd will be there from the start.
