Carnegie Challenge Cup

Hull ran in 15 tries at the KC Stadium as they enjoyed a Challenge Cup fourth round romp against weakened Championship One side Oldham.

The Roughyeds were missing 10 players through injury, suspension or unavailability - and it showed as in-form Hull filled their boots.

Young centre Jordan Turner took his chance by running in a hat-trick.

And there were two tries apiece for fellow youngster Reece Lyne, who came off the bench, and scrum-half Sam Obst.

Hull's other eight tries came from Danny Houghton, Will Sharp, Richard Whiting, Martin Gleeson, Richard Horne, Sam Moa, Danny Washbrook and Lee Radford.

Obst got the ball rolling after seven minutes before Turner scored the first of his three tries just two minutes later.

Obst, Turner, Houghton, Sharp and Whiting scored further first-half tries to give Hull a 42-0 lead at half-time.

Gleeson registered his second try for Hull just after the break and Lyne scored twice before Whiting touched down for his second.

Horne capped a fine display by wriggling to the line and prop Moa ploughed through the wafer-thin defence before Radford became Hull's 10th different try-scorer.

Turner finished off the rout with his hat-trick try in the dying seconds.

Coach Richard Agar fielded a strong starting line-up, but finished the game with 12 players on the pitch to give some of his star names a rest.

And Agar, whose team are now unbeaten in four matches, having finally found their form after a worrying start to the season, believes his players could have the pedigree to reach Wembley.


Hull coach Richard Agar:
"We have enough quality and big-game experience in our team to do well. Within our camp we have some players who are vastly decorated with honours and have been to one or two cup finals, and they all want another taste of it.

"We fulfilled our objectives which were to get our name in the draw and come through unscathed, and we also kept clean a sheet which is always noteworthy.

"When you're in the groove it sometimes isn't a good thing to have a week off, and lots of players put their hand up to play. I think we probably got the balance right on the day and we didn't have to tip them over the edge."

Oldham coach Tony Benson:

"I'm not happy with the scoreline. You never go in to a game ready to lose, but you need to be realistic.

"With 10 of the first team missing it was a bit of a jump for several of our players.

"It was a tough lesson and Hull are a very good side. They certainly didn't hold anything back."
