Tickle and Briscoe Star As Hull FC Hammer Salford Reds

stormed into sixth place in Super League with a crushing 52-16 victory over Salford at the KC Stadium.

A vocal home crowd for the club’s Pink Night – the players sported special black and pink kits in aid of The Yorkshire Scan Appeal – enjoyed a sparkling performance as Hull continue to find their best form at the right stage of the season.

Danny Tickle helped himself to a superb personal haul of 24 points and a hat-trick. The win now makes it four out of five for Hull FC, giving them plenty of momentum in the run-in to the play-offs.

Tickle opened the scoring against the Reds, and tries from the classy Briscoe and Jordan Turner saw Hull open up a 16-0 lead, before Tickle scored his second of the game.

Briscoe made it a brace himself shortly before the break and Tickle converted four of the five tries for an impressive first-half haul of 16 points as Hull went into the interval well ahead at 28-0.

Great Britain star Briscoe completed his hat-trick in the second period, and further tries from Turner, and made it an easy win despite three second-half tries for Salford.

It sets Hull up nicely ahead of two tough games against Leeds Rhinos – away on Sky next Friday, at home the following week to the Rhinos in the Challenge Cup – followed by the much-anticipated visit of Wigan.
