Second row Josh Griffin crossed for three tries in the second half as Hull FC ended the weekend at St James' Park with a vital win; the result moves the Black and Whites to within four points of the Betfred Super League play-off places and denied Warrington Wolves returning top
Josh Griffin was the unlikely hat-trick hero as Hull FC closed out the Betfred Super League Magic Weekend with a 30-18 win to deny Warrington Wolves the chance to return to the top of the table.
Connor Wrench's early try on his return from injury after nine months out and George Williams' finish helped the Wolves into a 12-6 lead at half-time in Newcastle, with Hull FC having responded through Danny Houghton's converted score from close range.
Adam Swift's finish and forward Griffin's two tries within the first 11 minutes following the restart swung the game in the Black and Whites' favour though, and the latter's third put them six points clear going into the final quarter of an hour after Wrench had hit back for the Wolves with his second.
