Match Report - Hull KR Challenge Cup.

Huddersfield Giants were defeated 12-52 by a strong Hull KR side on Saturday afternoon at the Accu Stadium.

Luke Robinson selected reserve wingers Alex Chippendale and Roman Sharma for their Giants debuts, with 16 unavailable for the home side.

The visitors opened the scoring, Tom Whitehead profiting from a slice of luck, with the ball bouncing and avoiding Sharma's grasp, 6-0 with Martin's conversion.

Another try came soon after, Mikey Lewis breaking through the centre of the park to race away and score.

There was a glimmer of hope of the Giants, and a spectacular try at that, as an offload in the centre of the park saw Tui Lolohea break away and send home Taane Milne, crossing to the right of the posts.

6-12 the scores stood with Russell's conversion.

From then on however, Hull KR made their experienced side advantage count and took full control of proceedings, with tries from Hiku, Amone and another for Lewis to push the lead out to 6-30 at the break.

Former Giant loanee Bill Leyland was introduced at half-time for the visitors and he scored soon after coming on, followed by a try from Luckley and Gildart.

6-46 and Hull KR were putting a young and inexperienced Giants side to the sword, but the players would never give up.

A final Hull KR try came from Oliver Gildart, before on the hooter Taane Milne grabbed his second try, picking off a stray pass to race away and touch down.

Final Score 12-52.
