Hull travel to Chester having lost for the first time last week against a well-organised Hinckley side.
Hull were disrupted by the loss of off-half Simon Humberston but were unable to contain Hickley in the final quarter of the game.

Chester have had a mixed start to their season having lost to Sheffield Tigers and Caldy but took the spoils in their games against Loughborough Students and Luctonians.
Hull have a good squad of players and will adjust the side to play Reece Dean at off-half . Tomasi Tanumi moves to full back and Laurence Cowen comes into the back row.
Hull will make the journey knowing that they have the heart and the ability to win a difficult away fixture but it will take a performance similar to the one they made against Stourbridge a fortnight ago.
The pack has substantial resources on the bench with second row/backrower Cameron Curry returning to the fray after a few weeks recovering from injury.
Flanker Tom O’Donnell has a wealth of experience and it could be that players of that calibre can bring an impact off the bench that could be a deciding factor.
It will be a tough game but Hull have already proved they can compete at this level and another away victory is distinctly possible.
