What a thrilling spectacle at Knowsley Road tonight...Hull led 12 points to nil in the first eight minutes, but Saints with their usual flair fought back to bring the half time score in their favour to 22-14. After the restart, Hull hit back at Saints with two quick tries and a third on the 69th minute from Yeaman taking the score to 22-28. Saints responded with a try from Roby and conversion from Smith forcing a 28 all draw. Hull looked to have won the game when a drop goal from Dykes put them back in the lead. Again Saints fought back and looked to have clinched the game with a try from Gidley, but he was held up, and it was Matty Smith who became the hero of the game by planting a penalty goal firmly between the posts in the final seconds of the game to see Saints win.
