Giants Semi-Final Kick-Off time confirmed

Huddersfield Giants journey in the Betfred Challenge Cup continues with a Betfred Challenge Cup Semi-Final as part of a triple header at Elland Road, on Saturday 7th May at 5:00pm against Hull KR as broadcast details have been confirmed by the Rugby Football League. 

The Betfred Women’s Challenge Cup Final and the men’s semi-final between Huddersfield Giants and Hull HR will be shown live on BBC2 at midday and 5pm respectively.

Six-time cup winners Huddersfield Giants reached their first Semi-Final in a decade having beaten Hull FC last Saturday in the Quarter Final. Standing in the Giants’ way are Hull KR, who defeated Castleford Tigers to reach their second semi-final in the space of three years, but who haven't won the competition since 1980. Huddersfield last reached the Betfred Challenge Cup Final in 2009, and go into the tie full of confidence after an excellent start to the Betfred Super League season. 

Mark Foster, the RFL’s Chief Commercial Officer, says: “Elland Road is no stranger to Rugby League drama and all the ingredients are in place for another memorable occasion. Four men’s teams will be giving everything they have to become the first Rugby League sides to play at the iconic Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, while we could see a record crowd for a domestic women’s fixture. If last year’s triple-header – also broadcast by the BBC – is anything to go by, this is an occasion absolutely not to be missed. The atmosphere in the stadium will be electric and armchair viewers can enjoy more than seven hours of superb BBC coverage.”
