Hull Handed Win
Image Courtesy of Dave Williams, RLPhotos.comHull were the first one's across the line at Craven Park with Stand-Off, Scott Murrell crossing the line just twelve minutes into the game, the twenty-three year-old then went on to convert his own try leaving Cas' trailing by 6 points.
However only eight minutes later, things looked a bit more promising when our number 3, Michael Shenton grounded one over the line, unfortunately this wasn't converted, leaving Cas' 2 points short of the Robins.
An agonizing ten minutes went by before Stuart Donlan went under the sticks to make it 8-6 then a neat conversion from young-lad Joe Westerman made the score 10-6, with no further action, this was the score at half time.
The first twenty minutes of the second forty were score-less although a lot of pushing came from both side, with both teams coming within 4 meters of the other try line. Twenty-Six minutes into the game and KR's new lad, Peter Fox went under the sticks and a conversion from twenty-nine year old Chris Chester put the Rovers back in front. Fox then went on to score another two tries, one of which was converted by Jake Webster. Castleford sustained injuries to Luke Dorn and Ryan Clayton, which weakened the team who were already suffering the loss of Dixon, Guttenbeil and Sherwin. A game of both sides, with Hull pulling away late on in the second half. The score at Craven Park at full time, Castleford Tigers 10, Hull Kingston Rovers, 22
