Tries: Tate 2, Pratt Goals: Sinfield


Hull FC (10) 10


Tries: Martin 2 Goals: Hardaker


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


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


Tate's 2nd put the hosts in front for the very first time after team-mate Jack Sinfield had seen a shot dismissed for obstruction.


The Black and Whites did not threaten the Trinity try-line thereafter and have 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 2 defeats for the project.


Tate shines as Hull's battles continue


Hull FC had full-back Will Pryce ruled out for the season last week, Liam Knight returned to Australia at the weekend after being permitted to leave on and it has actually been reported that back-rower Jed Cartwright could now be out for 5 months with a hamstring injury.


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


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


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


Sinfield had a first rating for his brand-new side dismissed for a blockage however Tate quickly crossed for what showed 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 barely even crossed the halfway line let alone put pressure on the home try-line.


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