West Hull go close, a kick to their right in space is scrambled back onto by Saints to stop a score.

Whitby almost puts Dagnall in from a cross field kick, but credit to the West Hull winger he managed to break the ball and get out of his own try area.

Cagey closing stages here, both sides battling hard.

Hurrell stops a West Hull attack calmly taking a chip kick and stopping it going over.

Saints with West Hull on their own line look to go right, Bennison tries a pat pass but no good, we’re then pulled for an offside.

Off the penalty West Hull move into our half for the first time in a little while. A kick through the middle is taken well by Saints, and the hosts give away an offside penalty.

Uh oh, a flare-up with the teams now, not sure what caused it but James Bell is pulled for a word by the referee.

West Hull penalty.

Oh Dagnall is so close to a dream debut score!

Whitby’s lofted high ball is taken by the outside back but he juggles it in the air and ref judges a knock-on as he reached out to ground it.

🔄 Dagnall on, Sailor off.

Let’s go Owen, enjoy your debut!

Saints get it straight back, forcing an error with good defence.

Odd one, Murphy’s judged to have knocked a collected high kick on, perhaps due to it coming off a West Hull head.

Saints almost score a beauty, Hurrell powers off a West Hull man and offloads to Batchelor.

Batch finds Sailor on the right edge, and an in and out almost opens up a score, but Bennison’s foot was in touch.

🔄 Alfie Sinclair is on, looks like Delaney is off for him.

Go well Alfie on your debut!

Whitby jukes around close to the posts, he’s held down at the tackle and we have a penalty given.

Changes by the way from the break:

– Welsby now off
– Robertson to fullback
– Davies to left centre
– Hurrell to right centre

Rare bit of close attack for West Hull on the last on their left edge a small kick to the corner looks dangerous, but we clear it out for a GLDO.

Back to it!
