Wakefield Trinity Edges Hull FC
Wakefield Trinity won a closely contested match against Hull FC, finishing 14-10 at Belle Vue on March 5, 2026. This victory marks Trinity’s second win of the Super League season.
The match saw Hull FC make three changes to their lineup, including the debut of James Bell. However, the team struggled to capitalize on their opportunities, remaining on just two points after four games.
Wakefield’s Will Pryce was notably absent due to an ACL injury that will keep him out for the season. Additionally, Jed Cartwright could be sidelined for up to five months due to a hamstring injury.
Lewis Martin was a standout performer for Hull FC, scoring two tries during the match. Despite this, Hull FC faced challenges, including an error from Davy Litten that led to a crucial try for Wakefield.
Wakefield dominated much of the second half, showcasing their defensive strength and tactical execution. With 20 minutes left in the game, Hull FC struggled to cross halfway, indicating their difficulties in maintaining possession and pressure.
In a pivotal moment, Davy Litten failed to deal with a high kick, allowing Oliver Pratt to snatch the loose ball and level the score just before halftime. This incident highlighted the challenges Hull faced throughout the match.
Corey Hall made an allegation of foul play against a Hull player, which drew the attention of officials just before the 50-minute mark, adding to the tension of the game.
Wakefield’s next match is against Leeds Rhinos in the Challenge Cup, while Hull FC will face Leigh Leopards in their upcoming fixture. Both teams will look to improve their performances following this encounter.
Overall, while Wakefield deserved the win, the match was not one that many would wish to watch again, as noted by observers. The outcome leaves Hull FC with much to ponder as they seek to turn their season around.
