Leigh Leopards 22

Hull FC and Leigh share points in thriller

Hull FC and Leigh Leopards played out a 22-all draw at MKM Stadium on Thursday night.

The Leopards hit back immediately with a flowing back line move that ended with Tesi Niu powering over.

Leigh were almost caught out on last but a high tackle penalty bailed them out and Aidan Sezer was binned quickly followed by Jordan Rapana who also earned a rest.

The Leopards made use of the two-man advantage. They potted a penalty goal for the 6-4 lead then Umyla Hanley manufactured a try.

Hull FC saw out the remaining time in both sin bins and went into the break trailing by a converted try.

They got back on level terms early in the second stanza. Hull FC's kick bounced kindly for Harvey Barron to touch down.

The hosts hit the lead again through David Armstrong. He used his pace to slice through and slam it down for 18-12.

This game remained a blow for blow affair. Herman Ese'ese steamed onto a John Asiata pass to lock it up again.

Armstrong again popped up for an important try for Leigh when he found the line from a Lachlan Lam pass for 22-18.

Hull FC forced this game into Golden Point by the skin of their teeth. They swept it wide and Lewis Martin dived over then Sezer hit the post!
