Betfred Super League, MKM Stadium


Hull FC (10) 16


Tries: Litten, Barron, Martin Goals: Hardaker 2


York Knights (6) 17


Tries: Nofoaluma 2, Jones-Bishop Goals: Richardson 2 Drop-goal: Richardson


Danny Richardson's drop-goal earned York Knights a 2nd shock win in 3 weeks as they won at Hull FC.


Having shocked champions Hull KR in the opening round, York followed up with another well-known day for the Knights who are playing in their first Super League season.


Two attempts from David Nofoaluma, on his launching, and Ben Jones-Bishop's rating assisted construct a 16-10 lead, before Richardson dropped the additional point.


It proved decisive as Lewis Martin's late try for Hull set up a tense ending, however York persevered in their final protective set and climb to 3rd in the early season standings.

27 February


After a well-known win in their League component, York were revived down to earth with a 46-14 drubbing by Leeds last weekend.


But here they showed success over Hull KR was no fluke and it could prove a season of surprises for the Knights, while the Airlie Birds contemplated a 2nd successive defeat.


They scored the opening shot as Toa Mata'afa put Nofoaluma over for his first score for his new club.


A knock-on provided Hull a prime attacking platform and from the scrum, Davy Litten took Jake Arthur's pass to power over and level.


Connor Bailey then freed Harvey Barron and the Hull winger finished well to provide the hosts a 10-6 half-time lead.


The weather condition turned nasty in the second half and it was the home side who failed to deal with the conditions as Barron knocked on in his own 20, and Richardson gave Nofoaluma a face the left corner to bring York level.


Hull were then reduced to 12 males for Jed Cartwright's deal with from an offside position and the visitors took complete advantage to put Jones-Bishop into the best corner in front of their fans.


With 14 minutes to play, York took the chance to move more than a score ahead and Richardson slotted an easy drop-goal from 25 lawns out.


It showed the right decision as Martin touched down Cade Cust's grubber in the penultimate minute and Zak Hardaker's goal from the left touchline gave York one final set to protect.


'They just played more constant footie' - Hull FC response


Hull FC head coach John Cartwright told BBC Radio Humberside:


"They scored an early shot however we addressed that quite well and after that controlled the very first half, but I believed we ought to have scored more points.


"The last five minutes of the half we were camped on their line but had a number of normal sets. We need to have entered the sheds 10 points up.


"Second half there were then a lot of mistakes but they just played more constant footie."


'It was a real test of character' - York reaction


York Knights head coach Mark Applegarth informed BBC Radio York:


"I believed we began really well but then welcomed Hull back into the video game in that first half and they capitalised on it very well.


"We then spoke at half-time about not chasing the scoreboard and building some composure and I thought we were impressive doing that.


"We thought we 'd make it a two-score game that built the scoreboard pressure, they tossed whatever at us and it was a real test of character."
