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 groups 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 first time after team-mate Jack Sinfield had actually seen a shot ruled out for obstruction.


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


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


Tate shines as Hull's battles continue


Hull FC had full-back Will Pryce dismissed for the season recently, Liam Knight returned to Australia at the weekend after being enabled to leave on thoughtful grounds and it has been reported that back-rower Jed Cartwright could 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 good field position and Martin dotted down in comparable style 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 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 very first rating for his brand-new side ruled out for an obstruction 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 barely 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 also face 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.
