Thousands of people in West Yorkshire are travelling to London this weekend, as Huddersfield Giants compete in the Challenge Cup Final!

It's the 121st year of the showpiece - which will see the Giants take on Wigan Warriors at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday (28/5).

It's going to be a busy few days for sports fans in Huddersfield, with the Terriers facing Nottingham Forrest at Wembley in the Championship play-off final on Sunday.

We've been speaking to Giants fan and the mascot, Graham Buckley, he said: "I think it's great that Huddersfield are in the final, it can do a great deal for the town."

"I think the game will be tough, very very physical. It's one of those games that you can't really predict. Both teams will go out to win, both teams will go out to win, but I think we are the better team".

Graham has been acting as 'Big G' (the mascot) for 22 seasons now, he told us: "I just love my club, being the mascot is a small cog in a big machine, and lets hope that, that small cog goes some way to winning the Challenge Cup on Saturday."

"It's time for the Challenge Cup to come home, home where it belongs, Huddersfield, the home of rugby league".

OVer 62,00 people are set to fill the Tottenham Hotspur stadium - which is normally used by the Premier League side.

If you are watching from home, you can watch live on BBC One.

Kick-off is at 3pm.
