ROYAL MARINES TO ABSEIL MATCH BALL FOR OPENING GAME

Huddersfield Giants are excited to announce that the Royal Marines will take part in a thrilling pre-match show that will see them abseil the match ball from the top of the Kilner Bank stand.

This is an exciting, never seen before at the John Smith's Stadium event that is sure to open supporters eyes to what the Marines do, as they take on the daring task of flying down from the top of the huge Kilner Bank stand, moments before the game kicks off.

After the Marines have worked closely with our Academy and Scholarship sides in pre-season, including putting on masterclass training sessions and our teams visiting their base to train like a Marine, a select few Marines will abseil from the top of the Kilner Bank stand with the Match Ball to deliver it to the match official.

The Giants have been working closely with the Royal Marines and would encourage young people to consider the Marines as a possible career choice, with our Academy and Scholarship taught training methods, and what it takes to be a Marine if their Rugby career doesn't work out.

In another exciting move, Giants mascot Big G will also be abseiling from the top of Kilner Bank which will be sure to capture the minds of younger supporters, this game is not to be missed!

Secure your place now for the battle of the ages as the Burgess brothers go head to head, Thomas featuring for the Giants and his first appearance in Super League since 2012, and Sam who is the Head Coach of Warrington, this will be the first time that the brothers will have been on opposite sides!
