RUGBY LEAGUE

Salford Reds 33 Huddersfield 16

SALFORD coach Paul Rowley hailed a ‘really satisfying’ win as his side kept their play-off hopes alive with this victory over Huddersfield at the AJ Bell Stadium.

The hosts moved to within a point of sixth-placed Leeds in the Betfred Super League on the back of an impressive first-half display.

Salford scored five tries in the opening period through Ken Sio, Joe Burgess, Kallum Watkins, Ryan Brierley and Tim Lafai, with Chris McQueen’s score for Huddersfield in reply.

Two tries from Giants’ Sam Hewitt at the start of the second half closed the gap to 10 points, but Harvey Livett’s late try gave the Red Devils an unassailable lead.

Rowley said: ‘We deserved the win against a good team. To deliver what we did today was really satisfying.’
