Adam Swift’s hat-trick propels Huddersfield to dominant win over Hull FC in Super League
Adam Swift’s hat-trick propelled Huddersfield to another dominant victory over Hull FC in the Super League, as they secured a comprehensive 10-try win. The Giants, who had previously thrashed Hull FC 50-6 in the Challenge Cup, continued their impressive form with a ruthless display.
Hull FC, hoping to build on their improved performance against Hull KR, were left reeling as they suffered three sin-binnings and struggled to contain Huddersfield’s attacking prowess. The defeat leaves them second to bottom in the league with just one win in seven games, while Huddersfield now break into the top six.
Swift was the star of the show, scoring a quickfire hat-trick to set the tone for Huddersfield’s dominant performance. The Giants were clinical in their execution, with Luke Yates marking his 150th career appearance with a try, and Tui Lolohea adding two more to his tally.
Hull FC coach Tony Smith lamented his team’s lack of sustained pressure and self-inflicted errors, highlighting the need for discipline and a change in habits. Meanwhile, Huddersfield coach Ian Watson praised his side’s professionalism and efficiency, particularly singling out Swift for his outstanding contribution.
The game saw a number of young players making an impact, with Jack Charles, Lewis Martin, and Logan Moy all getting valuable game time. Despite Hull FC’s efforts to rally in the second half, Huddersfield remained relentless in their attack, ultimately running out comfortable winners.
With Huddersfield’s impressive form continuing, they will be looking to build on this victory and climb further up the Super League standings, while Hull FC will need to regroup and address their issues to turn their season around.
