The match was a closely fought contest with both sides swapping tries early on. Luke Dyer and David Tangatoa for Hull KR were matched with scores from Craig Hall and Danny Tickle.
Mark O’Neill and Rhys Lovegrove scored two more for the Robins, but it was Hull FC that secured the local bragging rights through the efforts of Scott Wheeldon, Willie Manu, and Kirk Yeaman.
