HUDDERSFIELD Giants have made the worst possible start to their RL Nines campaign.

The club’s Under 20s side suffered defeats to hosts Featherstone Rovers, Leeds Rhinos and Bradford Bulls to finish bottom of their opening pool.

They will obviously be hoping for better fortunes when they travel to Castleford Tigers next Tuesday for the second round of fixtures against the hosts, Wakefield Trinity Wildcats and Hull KR.

The full list of results from the Big Fellas Stadium were: Featherstone Rovers 12 Bradford Bulls 22, Leeds Rhinos 18 Huddersfield Giants 8, Featherstone Rovers 18 Leeds Rhinos 26, Bradford Bulls 22 Huddersfield Giants 8, Bradford Bulls 8 Leeds 12, Featherstone 22 Huddersfield 18.
