Tries: Tate 2, Pratt Goals: Sinfield


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 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 shot dismissed for blockage.


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


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


Tate shines as Hull's struggles continue


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


In an even start 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 offered Hull FC excellent 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 however Davy Litten failed to deal with a high kick on the last play of the half and Pratt took the loose ball up to send out the groups in level.


Sinfield had a very first score for his brand-new side eliminated for a blockage however Tate quickly 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 but Hull hardly even crossed the halfway line let alone put pressure on the home try-line.


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

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


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