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 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 seen a shot ruled out for obstruction.


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


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


Tate shines as Hull's battles 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 allowed to leave on compassionate 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 great field position and Martin dotted down in comparable style for his 2nd shot.


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


Sinfield had a very first rating for his new side ruled out for an obstruction but Tate quickly crossed for what showed 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 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 also face a Super League challenger when they travel to Leigh a week on Saturday.

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