McGillvary struck back for the Giants and Jake Wardle, outstanding throughout, put the Giants ahead.
But a Gareth O’Brien penalty, followed by a drop goal, gave Cas a 13-12 lead.
Debutant Jack Sanderson then scored after the break to establish a two-score lead.
But McGillvary scored again, Sezer put the Giants ahead and McGillvary’s third sealed the win.
