Wakefield Trinity battled to a hard-fought Super League win over injury-hit Hull FC.


The groups entered level at the break with Lewis Martin's double for the away side matched by scores by Will Tate and Oliver Pratt.


Tate's second put the hosts in front for the very first time after team-mate Jack Sinfield had actually seen a shot dismissed for blockage.


The Black and Whites did not threaten the Trinity try-line afterwards and have now lost their last 3 Super League video games this season, having actually won the opener versus Bradford Bulls.


Wakefield made it 2 wins and 2 beats for the campaign.


Tate shines as Hull's struggles continue


Hull FC had full-back Will Pryce eliminated for the season recently, Liam Knight returned to Australia at the weekend after being allowed to leave on compassionate premises and it has actually been reported that back-rower Jed Cartwright might now be out for 5 months with a hamstring injury.


In an even begin Martin got the visitors on the scoreboard with a try out the left edge before Tate crossed for his first.


Ill-discipline from Trinity skipper Mike McMeeken gave Hull FC excellent field position and Martin dotted down in similar style for his second try.


It appeared like that would be enough for the away side to lead at the break however failed to handle a high kick on the last play of the half and Pratt snatched the loose ball up to send the teams in level.


Sinfield had a first score for his new side dismissed for an obstruction but Tate soon crossed for what proved to be the winning rating after fast hands from Corey Hall put him over in the corner.


There was still over 20 minutes to play but Hull hardly even crossed the halfway line let alone put pressure on the home try-line.


Wakefield face Leeds Rhinos in the Challenge Cup next Friday, while Hull FC likewise deal with a Super League challenger when they take a trip to Leigh a week on Saturday.
