Hull KR take derby spoils after last-gasp Webster try

04/05/2008

A last-gasp try gave Hull Kingston-Rovers a 22-17 win over local rivals Hull in Super League at the Millennium Stadium.

On day two of the annual Millennium Magic, the sides were level at the break with Gareth Raynor and Danny Washbrook crossing the line for Hull while Danny Tickle booted over two goals.

Peter Fox and Daniel Fitzhenry crashed over for the visitors in the first half while Paul Cooke scored a goal against his former club.

Raynor touched in the second half to give the home side a 16-10 lead. But Hull KR tied the scores again when Chev Walker dived under the posts with Cooke adding the extras.

And Hull KR snatched victory when Jake Webster crashed over with Cooke scoring the conversion.

Elsewhere, Catalan Dragons came back from ten points behind to stun Harlequins 18-16.

The Dragons took an early lead through Jason Croker's try, with Thomas Bosc kicking over the extras.

But Quins hit back with tries from Michael Worrincy and Scott Hill to lead 10-6 at the break.

The London side looked to be heading to victory when Scott Hill offloaded to Chris Melling who dived under the posts, with Bosc kicking over a goal to make it 16-6.

But the French side then mounted a stunning comeback starting with Julian Touxagas sprinting 90 metres to score, with Bosc adding the extras on 72 minutes.

Catalan then snatched victory with 90 seconds left when Bosc's chip over the top was collected by Justin Murphy who crashed over.
