- Warrington 20-26 Huddersfield
- Wire recover from 20-0 down but held off in closing stages
Some nights, sport is about much more than the result on the field. Ultimately, this was Huddersfield Giants’ night in terms of the outcome, but really, everyone who was fortunate enough to be in attendance here must have felt like a winner at some stage given how utterly miserable the last 429 days have been as a rugby league supporter, locked out of the game you love.
To truly understand how important a role rugby league plays in towns like Warrington, you have to be present for nights like these. A working-class town, where supporters work all week just for the release of watching their team at the weekend in the heart of their community. That has been taken away for the last 14 months, and without supporters, the game would have not survived in one piece.
