Hull 72 - Widnes 10: One Hull of a beating

“The home side opened the scoring in the ninth minute with a long-range try from Daniel Holdsworth after he picked up Kevin Brown’s knock-on”

Widnes hit straight back two minutes later when Patrick Ah Van supplied Cameron Phelps, but Briscoe slid over to put Hull back in front.

Vikings’ captain Brown scored a converted try to make it 10-10 but Hull hit back with three quick tries from Kirk Yeaman and Shaul (twice) to establish an 18-point half-time lead.

Danny Tickle made it 30-10 to Hull after the break with a penalty goal and Jacob Miller added two long-range efforts for the home side. Then Briscoe raced 60 metres for his second, before Richard Whiting, Aaron Heremaia, Joe Arundel and Mark O’Meley added late scores to put the icing on the cake for Hull.
