Harding’s delight at first career hat-trick

‪Hull’s hat-trick hero Harvey Harding paid tribute to the hard work of his pack of forwards for providing him with his first ever treble. ‬
‪Harding scored three of his side’s nine tries in a dominating 59-15 win over Doncaster Phoenix to secure third spot in National Three North. ‬
‪Harding, playing with six stitches in his lower lip after an incident in last weekend’s win over Sandal, said it’s a joy to play in this Hull team.‬
‪“That might be my first ever hat-trick in my career so I’m pretty pleased with that,” Harding said. ‬
‪“The third one was gifted after big Kieran McDonald got caught in the tackle but managed to offload the ball to me. ‬
‪“It was good go forward by the forwards as they opened the gaps for us backs which makes things a lot easier.‬
‪“I’m pleased to score a hat-trick but it was a great performance form the boys. ‬
‪“It’s a good team to play in because it’s a positive team and we want to build on that and keep going forward. ‬
‪“It was nice to chuck the ball around in such good weather. ‬
‪“I want to play every game especially at the minute when it’s exciting times. ‬
‪“Everything is positive from the training to the games.”‬
