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 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 first time after team-mate Jack Sinfield had actually seen a try dismissed for obstruction.


The Black and Whites did not the Trinity try-line afterwards and have now lost their last 3 Super League games this season, having won the opener versus Bradford Bulls.


Wakefield made it 2 wins and 2 defeats for the project.


Tate shines as Hull's struggles continue


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


In an even start 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 comparable fashion for his 2nd shot.


It appeared like that would suffice 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 nabbed the loose ball up to send the teams in level.


Sinfield had a very first rating for his new side eliminated for an obstruction but Tate soon crossed for what showed to be the winning rating after fast hands from Corey Hall put him over in the corner.


There was still over 20 minutes to play but Hull barely even crossed the midway 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 face a Super League opponent when they travel to Leigh a week on Saturday.


Wakefield: Rourke; Tate, Hall, Pratt, Myers; Trueman, Sinfield; McMeeken, Smith, Rodwell, Nikotemo, Vagana, Tevaga.


Interchanges: Scott, Pitts, Hamlin-Uele, Faatili.


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


Interchanges: Bell, Cust, Lisone, Sao.
