Hull halved the deficit in the 25th minute courtesy of Aidan Sezer, who ran 40 metres for a wonderful solo try, and they put themselves in front five minutes later when they worked the ball left to right into the grasp of Tom Briscoe who found a gap in the York defence to make it 10-8.

The visitors managed to get another try before the break, Hugo Salabio's great offload was collected by Joe Batchelor who managed to dot down.

The home side got themselves on level terms after the break, Denive Balmforth displayed some good footwork before crossing over to cut the deficit to two points before Bennison slotted a penalty to make it a level game.

York retook the lead with 20 minutes to go, Nikau Williams got himself on the end of a neat grubber kick from Cody Hunter and Williams was denied another by the video referee minutes later.

Hull thought they snatched a result at the end when Herman Ese'ese charged over but the video referee deemed a double movement which was enough to earn York the points.
