Super League round-up: Hull FC win at local rivals Hull KR, Catalans off the bottom

Here's the latest round-up for Sunday's action in the Super League's Magic Weekend:

Hull KR 22 - 34 Hull FC

Hull moved back into Super League's top four with a 34-22 victory over Hull KR as the depleted rivals brought down the curtain on Magic Weekend.

With both sides shorn of a host of key men, Jake Connor delivered a sublime performance at St James' Park to inspire his team to a seventh straight derby win.

Scott Taylor claimed Hull's opener and Jamie Shaul crossed twice before the break, while young scrum-half Liam Harris marked his debut against his former club with a try.

Kieran Moss scored Hull KR's two first-half tries and completed his hat-trick to breathe life into the contest.

But Jack Logan and Connor went over to seal Hull's victory, although it was Tommy Lee who scored the final try of Magic Weekend, which was attended by 64,319 fans across the two days.

Salford Red Devils 12-26 Catalans Dragons

Jodie Broughton scored a second-half hat-trick as Catalans Dragons climbed off the bottom of Super League with a commanding 26-12 win over Salford at St James' Park.

It was a crucial match in the Dragons' battle to avoid the bottom four and they rose to the challenge to move to within two points of the eight-placed Red Devils.

Weller Hauraki opened the scoring after a positive start by Salford but Catalans went into half-time with a slender lead thanks to efforts from Ben Garcia and Julian Bousquet.

Broughton went over for his 100th Super League try and made it three in 13 minutes to end Salford's challenge.

George Griffin had the last word but the Red Devils were well beaten.

Wakefield Trinity 22-25 Huddersfield Giants

Huddersfield held off a second-half fightback to pile more misery on neighbours Wakefield after interim boss Chris Thorman guided them to back-to-back Super League wins for the first time since last July.

A week on from knocking Trinity out of the Challenge Cup, the Giants condemned them to an eighth defeat in their last 10 league games and kept alive their own top-eight hopes with a nail-biting 25-22 victory at St James' Park.

Only Wigan have a better Magic Weekend record than Huddersfield, who have now won eight of their 12 matches, but this was a close-run contest.
