Hull FC beat Wigan as Warrington & Dragons progress

With a stunning 26-22 victory over defending champion Wigan Warriors, Hull FC shockened the Challenge Cup fourth round.

The visitors won in a surprisingly surprising manner against the 21-time winners thanks to a hat-trick from winger Lewis Martin and tries from Herman Ese’ese and Amir Bourouh.

Following tries from Zach Eckersley, Jai Field, and Junior Nsemba, as well as two successful goal kicks from Harry Smith, the Cherry and Whites quickly jumped to a 16-point lead in the first half.

“The boys stuck in there and what a win, it was unreal,” Martin said, according to Martin, who was probably watching half-time.

“We’ll accept any winner,” the leader said. We believe in the group’s ability to defeat anyone. Who we choose is really irrelevant.

In the opening 20 minutes of their match against Hull, Wigan won three tries and engaged in some of their most spectacular rugby of the season.

However, Martin broke clear for the first time in the opening half before Ese’ese was teed over next to the sticks.

Liam Farrell fought back just before the break to earn the hosts a fourth and retake the lead of 16 points.

However, Harvey Barron’s interception made it impossible for the visitors to convert the ball, and Bourouh eventually crashed over from close range after seven minutes of the second-half.

12-man Hull fought back when John Asiata was sent to the sin-bin for dissent after he was sent to the sin-bin for dissent. Martin, who had a dominant start, powered inside from the left to force his first tackle of the night.

Aidan Sezer’s deft kick over the top found the oncoming Martin, who blazed past Bevan French and scored his second in the corner with a quick turn of pace.

Widnes Vikings made it a nervy night for Warrington’s neighbors by scoring a try after five minutes.

After Adam Holroyd had gathered in George Williams’ offload and Josh Thewlis had made a mistake in the corner, Wire had led 10-6 at the break.

In a yo-yo battle, the hosts regained control with two tries, first by Matt Fleming and then by Jack Owens, who scored six points first.

Despite a brave performance, the Championship side was unable to hold on, and Max Wood capitalized on another Vikings error to bring the score level at 16-16.

Featherstone Rovers, a Sam Tomkins-inspired Catalan Dragons team, easily swept aside in the championship game on an evening with much more comfort.

In the French side’s nine-try romp, the 35-year-old scored two tries and kicked five goals in his first appearance of the season since recovering from a hamstring injury.

The Dragons advanced to the last eight with two tries each from Australian winger Nick Cotric, Luke Keary, Chris Satae, Fouad Yaha, Reimis Smith, and Paul Seguier, Luke Keary, Chris Satae, Fouad Yaha, Fouad Yaha.
