Tries: Martin 2 Goals: Hardaker


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 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 three Super League games this season, having actually won the opener versus Bradford Bulls.


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


Tate shines as Hull's struggles continue


Hull FC had full-back Will Pryce dismissed for the season recently, Liam Knight returned 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 begin Martin got the visitors on the scoreboard with a shot on the left edge before Tate crossed for his very first.


Ill-discipline from Trinity skipper Mike McMeeken gave Hull FC excellent field position and Martin dotted down in comparable fashion for his second shot.


It appeared like that would be enough for the away side to lead at the break however 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 out the groups in level.


Sinfield had a first score for his new side eliminated for a blockage but Tate soon crossed for what proved to be the winning score 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 let alone 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.
