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 ratings 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 ruled out for blockage.


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 two beats for the campaign.


Tate shines as Hull's struggles continue


Hull FC had full-back Will Pryce eliminated 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 five 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 first.


Ill-discipline from Trinity skipper Mike McMeeken provided Hull FC great field position and Martin dotted down in similar style for his second shot.


It looked like that would be enough for the away side to lead at the break however Davy Litten working to deal with a high kick on the last play of the half and Pratt snatched the loose ball up to send out the teams in level.


Sinfield had a first score for his new side dismissed for an obstruction but Tate quickly crossed for what showed 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 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 travel to Leigh a week on Saturday.


Wakefield: Rourke; Tate, Hall, Pratt, Myers; Trueman, Sinfield; McMeeken, Smith, Rodwell, Nikotemo, Vagana, Tevaga.


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


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