Hull KR Extends Derby Supremacy with Convincing Win Over Hull FC

Hull KR achieved a significant 24-6 win over Hull FC in the highly anticipated 250th edition of the Hull derby, marking their first back-to-back victories in the Betfred Super League this season. The Robins capitalized on a series of early errors by their opponents, racing to a 10-point lead within the opening quarter courtesy of tries from Jack Broadbent and Oliver Gildart. Although Hull FC managed to score through Tom Briscoe before halftime, a contentious decision to rule out Lewis Martin's try early in the second half proved pivotal. The match was marked by intense competition and multiple flashpoints, but Hull KR ultimately delivered the decisive blows. Jez Litten scored after a remarkable break by Tyrone May, and Joe Burgess sealed the win with two tries in the final 10 minutes, propelling Hull KR to sixth place in the Super League table and into the playoffs, while Hull FC dropped to ninth.
