Castleford Tigers score two late tries to beat Hull FC

Two second-half tries from Justin Carney and James Clare have helped Castleford Tigers beat Hull FC 20-14 in the Super League.

Castleford scored the first try of a scrappy first half when Grant Millington broke through the Hull defence, and he found Luke Gale to score.

Hull thought that they had hit back immediately, but Jordan Thompson's try was ruled out for a foul.

However, Tom Lineham soon crossed for the visitors when he was fed by a neat Steve Michaels pass, and he touched the ball down with ease.

Castleford extended their lead in the 42nd minute when an Andy Lynch break was finished by Gale for his second of the game, but Lineham also scored his second minutes later.

The Hull winger then completed a fine hat-trick with just over 20 minutes to play, as he touched the ball down in the corner after he was found in acres of space.

Castleford regained a slender lead in the 63rd minute, when Carney used his strength and power to barge past Lineham and score his side's third try, and they then confirmed victory when Clare took advantage of a Hull handling error to score in the corner.
