Giants director wants glory for grandad Ken

- DAVE CRAVEN

JUST two months ago Rebecca Wood, aged only 24, became the youngest director of Huddersfield Giants.

Now the club she has supported since birth – which is owned by her benevolent grandad, Ken Davy – bid to win their first Challenge Cup in 69 years.

Ahead of Saturday’s final with Wigan, tax advisor Wood said: “It’s gone well. We’ve got to the Cup final. I’m not saying I’ve had any influence on that, but I’ll take it!

“I feel like I’m getting more involved, though, making suggestions and sharing ideas. And now we’re all looking forward to a very special day.”

As a child, Wood (below, with her grandad) was at Twickenham when Giants lost the 2006 final against St Helens. And again when they were beaten by Warrington at Wembley three years later.
