Salford 36-18 Huddersfield
MATCH SUMMARY
Salford (24) 36
Tries: Fitzpatrick 3, Sibbit, Hodgson, Robinson
Goals: Wilshere 6
Huddersfield (12) 18
Tries: De Vere, R Paul, Aspinwall
Goals: Thorman
Salford full-back Karl Fitzpatrick grabbed a superb hat-trick as the Reds made light of some horrendous conditions at the Willows.

Ian Sibbit, David Hodgson and Luke Robinson also crossed for the home side, while John Wilshere kicked six goals from eight attempts.

Huddersfield fought hard for an hour but were ultimately found wanting.

They scored tries from Michael De Vere, Robbie Paul and Martin Aspinwall, with Chris Thorman converting all three.


  • Salford assistant coach James Lowes on Fitzpatrick: �
    "It was a fantastic display. Fitzy's done well once again.

    "We ask him to float about and back everything up and if you do that well, you'll get the rewards."

  • Huddersfield coach Jon Sharp:�
    "Obviously I'm disappointed we didn't win - we just didn't adapt to the conditions as well as we should have. �

    "Salford adapted their game much better and when you are chasing the game in weather like that it becomes a lottery. �

    "Salford are a good side and they work very hard for each other."
