Hull crush Oldham

Jordan Turner: hat-trick

Hull were predictably comfortable winners over Oldham, running in 15 tries to secure their place in the fifth round of the Carnegie Challenge Cup.

Jordan Turner scored a hat-trick and Sam Obst, Richard Whiting and Reece Lyne bagged two tries apiece for the Black and Whites.

Hull were quickly into their stride and a straightforward break through the heart of the visiting defence by Richard Horne allowed Obst to register the first score after seven minutes.

The hosts doubled their lead within two minutes as Tom Briscoe's lightning pace took him clear out wide, and the England wing found Turner on the inside for a simple run to the line.

A superb offload from Danny Washbrook then released Obst, who brushed off three tackles to score his second of the game.

Will Sharp found Danny Houghton for another try, and Sharp himself then punished some poor tackling by the visitors by racing home from 75 metres to score his first try since the start of March.

The superb Horne and Whiting combined to send in Turner for his second try as Hull continued to take advantage of Oldham's inexperience in defence.

Decent defence kept Hull at bay for a further 10 minutes, but Oldham finally succumbed under the relentless pressure a minute before the interval as Whiting benefited from a ricochet to score Hull's seventh try of the half. The same player's seventh conversion out of seven gave Hull a 42-0 lead at the break.

Hull started the second half as they ended the first, with former Wigan centre Martin Gleeson squeezing in at the corner to score his second try since joining the club in April.

Provider

Turner, with two tries to his name, then turned provider to allow Lyne a route to the line, and Horne capped a fine personal performance by wriggling past three dispirited players for a score of his own.

Obst then fed prop forward Sam Moa for a clear run to the line as Oldham's defence capitulated again, but the hosts were far from finished.

Lyne scored his second try of the game after selling a dummy out wide, and Whiting stretched out to register his second of the game.

Whiting slotted over his 11th conversion of the afternoon after Lee Radford collected the full-back's offload to become Hull's 10th different try-scorer, and Turner completed the rout with his hat-trick try in the final minute.
