Higher quality copies are available from Brian Norman. Click on image for large copy.
Hull Ionians created plenty of pressure and chances but let them slip, Tigers taking the lead with a close range converted try and an interception try run from their own line. The final session saw Hull Ionians reapplying all the pressure and tries from Adam Thomas and Chris Starling both converted by Joe Wright gave a 14-12 score line in a game where both teams gained useful lessons, but perhaps spoilt by a lack of Tigers props meaning uncontested scrums throughout.
