London Broncos 46-32 Hull FC

London maintained their hopes of making the play-offs with a home defeat of Hull at Griffin Park.

The Broncos shared 14 tries in a topsy-turvy encounter before staging a superb comeback.


We imploded in the second half

Hull coach
The hosts opened the scoring after 72 seconds, but then found themselves trailing by 18 points.

Broncos forward Gareth Price crossed almost from the kick-off before Hull replied after eight minutes through Gareth Raynor.

Adam Maher crossed twice and when Richard Horne dummied and side-stepped his way over the line after 18 minutes, London were 24-6 down.

But prop Francis Stephenson got them back in contention and they went on to take control of the second half.

Tony Martin crossed four minutes after the resumption and three minutes later provided the pass for Price to add his second try.


I was delighted with the win and the character that we showed as well as the teamwork
Tony Rea
London coach
Martin levelled the scores with his conversion and two more tries gave them the lead.

Crowthwer narrowed the gap for the visitors before half-back Dennis Moran intercepted a pass and raced the length of the field to touch down.

Graham MacKay crossed the line in the corner for Hull before Russell Bawden completed the scoring for London.


London: Sykes, Peters, Roy, Martin, Hall, Gillett, Moran, Bawden, Budworth, Shaw, Price, Retchless, Toshack. Replacements: Houles, Stephenson, Marshall, Dean.

Hull: Prescott, Raynor, Kohe'Love`, Mackay, Crowther, Horne, J. Smith, Greenhill, Jackson, Carvell, Maher, Ryan, Chester. Replacements: Logan, Parker, Donkin, Cooke.
