Rugby League: Huddersfield Giants 12 - 22 Wakefield Trinity
Wakefield staged a second-half fightback to book their ticket to the quarter-finals of the Challenge Cup
A Tom Johnstone double got Trinity over the line. Huddersfield failed to score after reaching the interval 12-6 ahead
A 15th-minute try from Mike McMeeken gave Trinity an early advantage against their Super League rivals. The home side then hit back through Adam Swift and Sam Halsall to lead 12-6 at the interval.
Wakefield were soon in charge though. Liam Hood dived over from dummy half early in the second period. A conversion from Mason Lino levelled the scores, with Tom Johnstone's 57th-minute try edging Trinity back in front.

Johnstone then collected a kick from Jake Trueman to grab his second score of the game six minutes from time and effectively seal the win for the away side.
It was a fantastic second-half performance from Wakefield. Despite two defeats in the early stages of the Super League, sitting in 7th place and last 8 spot in the Challenge Cup will have been considered a successful start to the season.
For Huddersfield, things need to change and quickly. They've lost all of their competitive games this season and fans will be wondering where a win is going to come from. Only Salford Red Devils have had a worse start than the Giants.
