Hull took a third minute lead through a James Cameron penalty but Beverley levelled three minutes later. On 23 minutes Hull went ahead again with a Maea David try, converted by James Cameron but six minutes later Beverley levelled again when former Hull player Frayley Hoppa scored in the corner with Ian Archibald adding a superb touchline conversion.
