Tries: Martin 2 Goals: Hardaker


Wakefield Trinity battled to a hard-fought Super League win over injury-hit Hull FC.


The teams 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 second 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 afterwards and have now lost their last three Super League games this season, having won the opener versus Bradford Bulls.


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


Tate shines as Hull's battles continue


Hull FC had full-back Will Pryce eliminated for the season last week, Liam Knight went back to Australia at the weekend after being allowed to leave on caring grounds and it has actually been reported that back-rower Jed Cartwright could now be out for 5 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 comparable style for his 2nd shot.


It looked like that would be enough for the away side to lead at the break however Davy Litten failed to handle 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 rating for his new side ruled out for a blockage 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 but Hull barely 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.


Interchanges: Bell, Cust, Lisone, Sao.
