KR Take the Spoils in Enthralling Hull Derby
A city was on tenterhooks as fifth placed Hull FC made the short journey to Craven Park to face a Hull KR side who are currently in eighth spot but who have secured themselves a Challenge Cup semi-final spot in three weeks' time.
KR were looking for a fourth consecutive win and with home advantage the bookies had them as narrow favourites to take down the Black & Whites, secure bragging rights and lift themselves level on points with their arch enemy.
On paper it couldn´t have been closer, a Good Friday feast for the Rugby League watching nation.

Enjoyed that, even when it was tight. First half flew by and while neither side was exactly composed, it was played at an exhilarating pace. Crowd made it a great spectacle. Second half we kept up the effort and had a couple of good moments to win it. Hull didn’t really have any answers, in that second 40.

Great team effort, although Coote official man of match bid wraps to Ethan Ryan for his defensive efforts which kept us in the game. Hope we can now back up against Toulouse.

That was nice. Very much enjoying Foote, he's made our defence so much better.
Toulouse will be a tough game, they're learning at a rate of knots and will be targeting this game.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.
