Hull vs Hull K R Super League 8:00pm Thursday 23rd July
Defending Super League champions Hull KR moved back into the playoff positions following a 34-20 comeback derby victory at Hull FC from 12 points behind.
Hull FC, who had lost eight derbies in a row heading into this one, started superbly to score twice within the opening eight minutes through Joe Batchelor and Davy Litten for a 12-0 lead.
Yet, Rovers battled back to level by half-time following tries from Tom Amone and Arthur Mourgue.
The Black and Whites briefly led again at 14-12 in the second half via the boot of Zak Hardaker, but a try from Jack Broadbent and penalty from Mourgue soon put the Robins six points ahead.
The match then swung on the next try with 12 minutes to play; Hull FC seemingly ready to score down the right, but Joe Burgess pinching an intercept to race nearly 80 metres down the field for Hull KR's fourth.
Mourgue added another penalty to stretch the lead further, with Jake Arthur's late try for Hull FC academic in the end as Jordan Dezaria forced his way over for another Hull KR effort late in the game.
