Castleford Tigers (16) 34


Tries: Hood, McIntosh, Lawler, Weaver 2, Golding Goals: Weaver 5


Huddersfield Giants (4) 8


Tries: Gagai, Flanagan


Ashton Golding scored on his Castleford debut against former club Huddersfield Giants to finish Tigers' very first Super League win of the season.


Tries from Liam Hood, Darnell McIntosh and George Lawler had Tigers cruising inside the opening thirty minutes, but Jacob Gagai pulled one back simply before the break to make it 16-4.


Tom Weaver then grabbed 2 essential second-half tries, either side of George Flanagan's four-pointer, to put Tigers en route to sealing a first league win under head coach Ryan Carr.


The most significant celebration of the night was reserved for Golding, as he crossed for an unforgettable first shot for his new club against the side he left after five years at the end of last season.

The early season type and misfortune of the West Yorkshire rivals had actually mirrored one another before their meeting at the OneBore Stadium. Both had been winless, pointless and hit by injuries.


Captain Alex Mellor became the current Tiger to be sidelined after he broke his leg in recently's defeat at Toulouse, while Giants were without a host of hurt regulars themselves, including Liam Sutcliff, Joe Greenwood and Harry Rushton because of prolonged lay-offs.


France international Tanguy Zenon began for injury-hit Huddersfield simply 2 days after signing up with the club, while there were Tigers debuts for Wigan loanee George Hirst and former Giants set Jack Ashworth and Golding.


Hood gave the hosts the perfect start, darting from dummy-half to get his 2nd shot of the season after Joe Stimson was reduced near the line.


Castleford got a been worthy of second through McIntosh, who rushed through a tired out Giants defence that had been pinned back on their line after Taane Milne handed out a negligent charge for his high hit on Krystian Mapapalangi.


Milne remained in the when Lawler crashed over under the posts for Castleford's 3rd shot in the 26th minute, but after that it was Huddersfield who ended up the half stronger, with Zenon rejected by a try-saving tackle from Mikaele Ravalawa before Gagai eventually responded with a 38th-minute score.


Huddersfield continued to threaten however were inefficient in search of a method back into the video game before Weaver got on the end of a remarkably weighted grubber kick from Daejarn Asi to edge Castleford 18 points ahead.


Flanagan gave Giants renewed hope when he hit back right after, however a second from Weaver put the result beyond doubt before Golding crashed over to stimulate wild events.


'We play for this winning feeling' - reaction


Castleford Tigers head coach Ryan Carr told BBC Radio Leeds:


"That's what we play for, we play to win and bet this feeling right now.


"I'm really pleased for my team and really pleased for everybody included in our club since a lot of work has gone into getting to this point. And there will continue to be a lot more work.


"But to be able to see them with a smile on their faces, with all the effort they have actually done because day one of pre-season, is pleasurable.


"But it is one win, we have to keep making certain we perform consistently each week now."


"I thought we were rubbish, as plain and simple as that.


"We just robbed ourselves of energy with the amont of dropped balls that we had in that very first half. The lads attempted hard, but they were exhausted.


"I think they completed 100% [of their sets] in the 2nd half, and we finished around 60-odd. If you simply provide the opposition the ball over and over once again, you are going to get the same outcome.


"Eventually it just robs you of energy and you are basically using fumes.


"Look, they are running around, scrambling and attempting their hardest but ultimately it simply comes back to bite you. We just need to learn and require to discover quick."
