Cade Cust, Herman Ese’ese, Lewis Martin and Sam Eseh score first-half tries for Hull FC en route to victory at Leigh Leopards in Thursday night’s Super League; Sky Sports will show every game of Super League live this season – including two in each round exclusively live

Hull FC ended a four-game losing streak in Super League as they powered to a 26-12 victory at Leigh on Thursday.
The Airlie Birds did all their damage in the first half as they raced ahead with tries from Cade Cust, Herman Ese’ese, Lewis Martin and Sam Eseh.
The game was a far cry from the pulsating 22-22 draw the sides fought out in March as Leigh offered little until too late.
Tries from Edwin Ipape and Owen Trout in the final quarter added some respectability to the score-line but the result was never in doubt.
Aidan Sezer was at his creative best for Hull and added five goals, while it was also a sweet return for the visitors’ four former Leigh players – John Asiata, Ed Chamberlain, Tom Briscoe and Zak Hardaker.
Hull took charge early on after a loose pass from Robbie Mulhern gifted them possession in dangerous territory.
Sezer spread play and Cust showed his strength to burrow through several challenges to touch down.
The visitors stepped up the pressure as Sezer landed a 40-20 kick. Will Pryce drove close to the line and Ese’ese crashed over from close range.
Leigh rallied following a Lachlan Lam 40-20 but were thwarted close to the line after Hull successfully challenged a penalty awarded against them.
The Leopards suffered a further blow as Joe Ofahengaue sustained a serious-looking shoulder injury and Hull struck again as he received treatment, claiming their third try out wide through Martin.
Another followed on the stroke of half-time, Eseh finishing off more good work from Sezer under the posts. With five goals from Sezer, Hull held a commanding 26-0 advantage at the break.
Leigh tightened up in the second period but still struggled to trouble Hull. Matt Davis and Mulhern both drove close but were stopped short of the line.
Ipape finally got them on the scoreboard with just over an hour gone when he wriggled under the posts after a Tesi Niu break and Ben McNamara converted.
Trout cut the arrears further and Josh Charnley threatened to create another after an electric break but Sezer got back to cut out Ipape’s pass.
Sky Sports will again show every game of Super League live this season – including two matches in each round exclusively live, with the remaining four matches each week shown on Sky Sports+ via the red button.

Paige Bueckers could make history due to the Dallas Wings’ poor record

Dowman being considered for England U19 fast-track
The FA's youth team coaches are considering promoting Max Dowman to England's U19 squad after his impressive Premier League debut for Arsenal against Leeds.The 15-year-old has been capped 16 times at U17 level, scoring five international goals, and was a key member of England's U17 squad in the summer, starting each of their three European Championship games. Now - after winning a penalty against Leeds in Saturday's 5-0 victory for Arsenal - there is a possibility he will jump another age group, in recognition of his progress in senior football.But for that to happen - because Dowman is still a minor - it will need the agreement of both his family and Arsenal. His development will be carefully managed - by club and country.His team-mate Ethan Nwaneri - the only Arsenal player to make his Premier League debut at a […]
