Hull end losing Super League streak as Dragons bounce back

Hull FC beat bottom side Huddersfield Giants to end losing run in Super League; Catalans Dragons hold off Castleford in France; Sky Sports will show every game of the Super League live this season - including two matches in each round exclusively live

>Hull FC and Catalans Dragons earned morale-boosting wins in Saturday's Super League action.

>Two tries for Ethan O'Neill helped Hull end a four-match losing run at the expense of bottom side Huddersfield Giants thanks to a 36-12 win.

>And in France, the Dragons responded to last weekend's heavy defeat against Wigan in their showpiece Paris fixture by seeing off Castleford Tigers 34-28 for just a second win in five.

>Huddersfield remain at the foot of the table having won only twice all season, while Hull move above Castleford and into ninth, one place behind Catalans.

>Huddersfield made the trip to Humberside on an even worse run than their hosts having not won since April 4, and an early score for Oliver Russell proved a false dawn.

>The first half was tight, but home tries for Logan Moy and Jake Arthur established a 12-6 lead for Hull, and Huddersfield unravelled after the interval.

>Arthur's kick sent O'Neill over for his first try of the season, and the forward's second came later in the game after Amir Bourouh had barged over from dummy-half on the hour and Harvie Barron also crossed.

>We are Hull&Proud 💙

>Aidan Sezer kicked 12 points and a late Giants rally produced only a consolation for Connor Wrench.

>Hull boss Andy Last told Sky Sports afterwards: "Hopefully it gives us a little bit of confidence getting a win with a strong performance. It just makes the whole environment a bit of a different place."

>Huddersfield boss Jim Lenihan - still looking for his first win in charge - said: "At half-time we had a good position where we were competing OK, but we mentally let the game go.

>"We're working hard and we're doing a really tough job, but at the moment other sides are working harder than us. We've got to stay in the game mentally as much as physically."

>Sky Sports will again show every game of the Super League live this season - including two matches in each round exclusively live, with the remaining five matches each week shown on Sky Sports+
