In a thrilling match, York City Knights overcame Toulouse 38-14, thanks to Scott Galeano's impressive hat-trick at the LNER Community Stadium, marking their third win in the Betfred Super League. The team had previously suffered five consecutive losses in all competitions. Paul Vaughan, celebrating his 35th birthday, scored the opening try, followed by another attempt that was disallowed due to the ball not being grounded.
York soon regained their momentum with Vaughan's second try, and Cody Hunter's successful conversion put the home team 12-0 up after 20 minutes. Toulouse's Thomas Lacans showcased his agility to score their first try, but Galeano's dive in the right corner gave York an 18-6 lead at half-time.
In the second half, York continued to dominate, with Jesse Dee and Kieran Buchanan contributing to the team's lead. Hunter's penalty made it 32-6, solidifying York's position. Toulouse managed to score a second try through Henry O'Kane, but Galeano's hat-trick with eight minutes remaining sealed the deal for York.
Meanwhile, Leigh Leopards defeated Huddersfield Giants 30-16, with Josh Charnley scoring two tries in his 400th appearance, bringing his Super League try tally to 263.
