Jobling’s first-half treble has Hull joyful

By CHRIS NUNN

Blaydon…………. 19

Hull…………………38

HULL'S power was the difference as they steamrollered over Blaydon's line on six occasions to take a bonus-point win.

Two early penalties led to Hull's first try via Mike Jobling, which came from a catch and drive. The next ten minutes was even until the 13th minute when a Hull penalty and kick to a corner led to another catch drive from a line-out with Jobling again the scorer.

Blaydon reacted and Dan Marshall put in Nathan Bailey for the home's sides first try, Nathan Horsfall converting.

Another Hull kick led to another catch and drive, and again it was Jobling for his hat-trick.

Blaydon then lost two front rows to injury and those two substitutions were closely followed by a red card for a head-high tackle by Hull's Latu Makaafi on James Cooney.

Hull started the second half pressing with Loma Kivalu crashing over.

An excellent kick ahead by Blaydon's Bailey was picked up by Jack Appleton, who ran in from 70 yards out for the best try of the contest.

A Blaydon missed touch led to Hull finding themselves back in their own 22 and from a scrum the massive Hull pack drove over the Blaydon line through Will Hall.

Blaydon looked to respond positively but a loose pass by Appleton led to an interception try for winger Keane Naylor.

Blaydon played open rugby and in the 75th minutes were rewarded with Bailey going over for his second. That was their last score as they eyed aa bonus-point try.
