RUGBY LEAGUE

GIANTS TO MEET SAINTS

Leroy Cudjoe

Sunday September 13,2009

Huddersfield full-back Brett Hodgson scored a try and kicked eight goals to help clinch a comfortable 48-16 win over Wigan that sets up a play-off date with St Helens next Saturday.

Leroy Cudjoe scored a hat-trick and Shaun Lunt waded in with two more in an eight-try demolition to seal third place in the Super League.

Pat Richards finished with eight points for the Warriors.

Castleford were served a wake-up call ahead of the play-offs in a 35-22 defeat of Celtic Crusaders.

A nip and tuck first period saw Lloyd White and Lincoln Withers (2) cross for the Crusaders, while Kirk Dixon, Mitchell Sargent and Michael Wainwright all went over for Castleford - Joe Westerman's poor kicking handing the visitors a half-time lead.

Big Ryan O'Hara added a converted score just after the break, but Richard Owen got the hosts back in it before a Michael Shenton double and late Craig Huby score settled the fixture, which brought the curtain down on the Crusaders' maiden Super League campaign.

A Luke Dorn hat-trick was in vain as Warrington wrapped up their Super League season with a 44-34 win to prevent Harlequins from overtaking the Challenge Cup holders in 10th spot.

The Wolves went into the clash with no chance of reaching the play-offs after Catalans' surprise win at St Helens on Friday.

Harlequins, who led 16-10 at one stage, have now won only one of their past 12 games to plunge from fourth to 11th.
