Konrad Hurrell was among the try-scorers as St Helens edged out Huddersfield
Reigning Betfred Super League champions St Helens held off a determined challenge from Huddersfield Giants for a 14-12 win at the John Smith’s Stadium.
The Giants dominated the territorial battle for a significant period of the first half, but St Helens seized on errors to run in quickfire converted tries from Konrad Hurrell and Tommy Makinson.
Ashton Golding cut the deficit to 12-6 by bursting out of dummy-half to finish from close range two minutes before half-time, but a penalty from Makinson seven minutes into the second half increased the lead.
Innes Senior’s try on his first appearance of the season 15 minutes from time ensured Huddersfield remained firmly in the contest, but Ian Watson’s side were unable to make the most of their opportunities as they went down by the same scoreline as the previous week’s defeat to Wigan Warriors.
