Source: www.superleague.co.ukHull FC assistant coach Lee Radford turned back the clock to score one of his side's six tries as they enjoyed a thumping derby victory over Hull KR.
Hull's win was hard-fought in a game that for long periods failed to live up to its pre-match billing as the biggest derby in rugby league.
But, led by Radford, who came out of retirement to aid Hull in an injury crisis which ruled out eight players, FC finally got the better of their dogged opponents in the closing quarter of the game as they racked up the points.
Hull coach Peter Gentle was left to celebrate a first derby win, which lifts his side back into Stobart Super League's top two, while Rovers coach Craig Sandercock will take his team to Salford City Reds on Easter Monday knowing they need to improve on their tally of just three wins so far this campaign.
A scrappy opening 40 minutes dominated by two robust defences finally came into life as the first half staggered to what had looked like being an unsatisfying conclusion.
Former Hull player Craig Hall, who earlier in the game had been guilty of knocking on with the try line at his mercy, rose highest to touchdown for the opening try of the match for the Robins.
Hall's perfectly-timed run saw him meet the kick of Aussie scrum-half Michael Dobson and unchallenged, the winger placed the ball down directly in front of the Hull fans who had once cheered him.
Hull wasted little time in registering their response as assistant coach Radford marked his first Super League game in six months with a try by the posts.
Radford, back on the field after studding his first spell with a series of barnstorming runs, took the ball two metres from the Rovers try line and then took three KR defenders with him as he crashed over.
Given the nip-and-tuck nature of the opening 40 minutes, parity on the scoreboard was a fair reflection heading into the break.
That parity lasted just 60 seconds of the second half however and, when Rovers prop Scott Wheeldon spilled the ball in front of his own try line, Hull made their rivals pay through Jordan Turner's try.
Casting off the shackles of the opening 40 minutes, both sides came to life as Hull began to show the type of form which had taken them into the top two, while Rovers offered the promise their lowly league position will be temporary.
Behind on the scoreboard for the first time, Sandercock's men had their opportunities to strike back.
Profligacy struck, though, and they saw that opportunity pass by when full-back Shannon McDonnell and hooker Lincoln Withers spurned chances.
KR's task in hand only got harder when a penalty for infringement in the tackle handed Hull goal kicker Danny Tickle an easy two-pointer in front of the posts to extend his side's lead.
Leading by two scores, Hull's confidence grew and soon they were the dominant force as they enjoyed set after set inside the Rovers half. Having forced two drop-outs, Hull then hammered the nail in the coffin of Rovers with four tries inside the last 20 minutes.
Turner was handed time and space out wide to go over for his second try of the match.
Quick tries in succession for homegrown favourite Kirk Yeaman and Hull scrum-half Brett Seymour then made certain of the result before Turner capped a hat-trick with a 70-metre run down field after the final hooter had gone.

An injury crisis means Hull FC are likely to turn to retired forward Lee Radford to bolster their pack in Friday's derby with Hull KR.
Thirty-three-year-old Radford called time on his career at the end of the 2011 season and has not played since, other than an appearance in his testimonial game against Bradford Bulls in January.
However, with coach Peter Gentle struggling for numbers ahead of the game, he has asked Radford, who now serves as one of his assistants, to dust off his boots.
The decision was made necessary when Eamon O'Carroll was today ruled out for six weeks with a knee injury.
With Chris Green, Mark O'Meley, Joe Westerman, Aaron Heremaia and Mike Burnett also injured, and Sam Moa in Australia on compassionate leave, Gentle has few options to choose from up front.
The arrival of Jay Pitts from Leeds Rhinos has boosted his numbers, but Radford is still required and has been registered accordingly.
Gentle may have better news in the back division, though, with both Wade McKinnon and Kirk Yeaman hoping to be fit.
The game will take place at the KC Stadium, having been switched from Rovers' MS3 Craven Park Ground which is currently out of action owing to work being done to the North Stand.
