Hull scored a breakaway try within 2 minutes of the kick-off but from that point on it was all Cleckheaton. Tom Austin went over after a good line-out set piece and the team continued to dominate the home side in terms of territory and possession. Hull went further ahead close to half time with a penalty goal but in the second half there seemed everything to play for. Unfortunately despite lots more possession close to Hull's line, Cleck could not get over the whitewash. A couple of break-outs from Hull earned them penalties and two conversions followed. Cleck were 16-5 down but still in the game, until 5 minutes to go when a long range break from Hull culminated in try for one time Cleckheaton player Lee Brown.
