Hull FC (10) 10


Tries: Martin 2 Goals: Hardaker


Wakefield Trinity fought to a hard-fought Super League win over injury-hit Hull FC.


The teams went in level at the break with Lewis Martin's double for the away side matched by ratings by Will Tate and Oliver Pratt.


Tate's second put the hosts in front for the very first time after team-mate Jack Sinfield had actually seen a try eliminated for obstruction.


The Black and Whites did not threaten the Trinity try-line afterwards and have actually now lost their last three Super League video games this season, having actually won the opener against Bradford Bulls.


Wakefield made it 2 wins and two defeats for the campaign.


Tate shines as Hull's battles continue


Hull FC had full-back Will Pryce eliminated for the season last week, Liam Knight went back to Australia at the weekend after being allowed to leave on caring grounds and it has been reported that back-rower Jed Cartwright might now be out for five months with a hamstring injury.


In an even begin Martin got the visitors on the scoreboard with a try on the left edge before Tate crossed for his very first.


Ill-discipline from Trinity skipper Mike McMeeken gave Hull FC great field position and Martin dotted down in comparable fashion for his 2nd shot.


It looked like that would be enough for the away side to lead at the break but Davy Litten stopped working to deal with a high kick on the last play of the half and Pratt took the loose ball up to send the teams in level.


Sinfield had a first rating for his brand-new side ruled out for a blockage but Tate soon crossed for what proved to be the winning rating after quick hands from Corey Hall put him over in the corner.


There was still over 20 minutes to play however Hull hardly even crossed the halfway line not to put pressure on the home try-line.


Wakefield face Leeds Rhinos in the Challenge Cup next Friday, while Hull FC likewise deal with a Super League opponent when they take a trip to Leigh a week on Saturday.
