Source: www.superleague.co.ukFive-try Huddersfield Giants ended their miserable run against the visitors in style - while exacting a spot of revenge in the process in their engage Super League clash.
Giants had not won in their previous eight fixtures against Hull FC, including play-off heartache at the KC Stadium last season, but the hosts turned the tables by 28-8 to deservedly claim their first home success over the Humbersiders since September 2004.
Giants head coach Jon Sharp fielded the same starting line-up that devoured Castleford Tigers in a 12-try demolition job while former Cronulla half-back Adam Dykes made his debut for the injury-hit Black and White while Matt Sing made his seasonal bow.
Hull, roared on by a bumper away following, drew first blood through Danny Tickle's early penalty with play evenly matched in a hard-fought opening quarter.
Giants gradually cranked up the gas and grabbed the first four-pointer on 23 minutes, Jamahl Lolesi surging over after a dazzling run from replacement hooker George Gatis.
Chris Thorman converted but Hull restored parity five minutes later, Craig Hall finishing off a slick move involving Lee Radford, Danny Washbrook and Graeme Horne.
Tickle's conversion made it 8-6 to the visitors as the ex-Wigan Warriors goal-kicker became the latest entrant to the 1,000 Super League points club.
A brilliant ankle-tap from Matt Sing then denied a certain try for Rod Jensen but the Giants' winger played a decisive hand moments before the break, setting up Kevin Brown, Thorman's goal making it 12-8 at the break.
Giants turned the screw on the restart after Ryan Hudson was held just short, Luke Robinson powered over from dummy-half for his fifth try in four matches this term, Thorman's conversion handing the hosts a 10-point buffer.
The hosts made the game safe when Eorl Crabtree crossed the whitewash shortly after a barnstorming run from Brown, who cashed in on a loose pass from Horne.
Shane Elford put gloss on the win three minutes from time, diving over after gathering Thorman's neat kick - the full-back converting.
