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 entered level at the break with Lewis Martin's double for the away side matched by ratings 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 eliminated for obstruction.


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


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


Tate shines as Hull's struggles 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 allowed to leave on caring premises and it has actually been reported that back-rower Jed Cartwright might now be out for five 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 fashion for his second try.


It appeared like that would suffice for the away side to lead at the break however 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 teams in level.


Sinfield had a first score for his brand-new side ruled out for an obstruction however 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 but Hull hardly even crossed the midway 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 opponent 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.
