Will Tate's second-half brace proved decisive as Wakefield Trinity secured a hard-fought 14-10 victory over Hull FC in the Betfred Super League. The hosts battled through to claim their first win of the season at the DIY Kitchens Stadium, ending a run of poor form that had left them searching for momentum.

Hull FC, plagued by injuries and frustration, saw Lewis Martin's two tries prove insufficient despite dominating much of the first half. The visitors led 10-4 at one stage after Martin's early double, but Wakefield's resilience shone through. Former Hull half-back Jake Trueman orchestrated the comeback, with Jack Sinfield's goal-kicking proving crucial in keeping Trinity in contention.

Tate's match-winning try came just before the hour mark, finishing off a move started by Corey Hall. The victory lifts Wakefield off the bottom of the table while leaving Hull FC with three straight defeats and mounting pressure on coach John Cartwright. This gritty win could prove the catalyst Wakefield needs to kickstart their season.
