19 January 2019 – Northern Premier Division : Hull 89-0 Kendal
The battle between relegation threatened Kendal and league leaders Hull turned into a one-sided rout as Hull scored 13 tries in a game that saw two players create new individual club records that still exist today.
A break from Simon Hihetah created the first try for Joe Stafford after only two minutes and Hull went on to completely dominate the first half to lead 49-0 at half time. The second half was similar to the first with Hull scoring a try after just 40 seconds when Keane Naylor scored near the posts.
By the final whistle Keane Naylor had set two new individual club records with 7 tries and 35 points and Simon Humberstone’s 12 conversions also set a new individual club record.

18 January 2014 – National Two North : Harrogate 19-18 Hull
An agonising missed conversion from James Cameron that bounced off the posts a minute from time resulted in a narrow defeat at Harrogate.
The hosts had the better of the first half and scored two converted tries to lead 14-0 at the break. Hull began the second half with a Cameron penalty but a further try for Harrogate saw them lead 19-3.
Joe Stafford scored for the visitors, converted by Cameron and a further James Cameron penalty set up a tense finish. Stafford’s second try brought Hull to within one point before Cameron’s agonising miss.
