Direct Golf UK, Managing Director, John Andrew said, “It has been a great pleasure to be able to support Huddersfield Town and the Huddersfield Giants. I am a very keen sportsman and I am always looking to help and encourage sport wherever possible at all levels, and where better than on your doorstep.
