Tries: Martin 2 Goals: Hardaker


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


The groups entered 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 actually seen a try ruled out for obstruction.


The Black and Whites did not threaten the afterwards and have actually now lost their last 3 Super League games this season, having actually won the opener against Bradford Bulls.


Wakefield made it 2 wins and 2 beats for the campaign.


Tate shines as Hull's struggles continue


Hull FC had full-back Will Pryce dismissed for the season last week, Liam Knight returned to Australia at the weekend after being enabled to leave on compassionate grounds 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 provided Hull FC good field position and Martin dotted down in similar style for his second shot.


It appeared like that would be enough for the away side to lead at the break but Davy Litten stopped working to handle a high kick on the last play of the half and Pratt snatched the loose ball up to send out the groups in level.


Sinfield had a first score for his brand-new side eliminated for an obstruction but Tate soon crossed for what showed to be the winning score after fast 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 mention 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 travel to Leigh a week on Saturday.

Hull FC: Litten; Briscoe, Hardaker, Romano, Martin; Arthur, Sezer; Aydin, Bourouh, Hill, Fash, Bailey, Asiata.
