Castleford Tigers overcame significant off-field disruption to beat Hull FC 18-14 at the MKM Stadium, securing only their third Super League away victory of the season. With head coach Ryan Carr absent for personal reasons and Luke Robinson due to begin as assistant coach, the win demonstrated resilience and moved Castleford further clear of the bottom of the table.

Castleford led 12-0 through tries from Renouf Atoni and Mikaele Ravalawa before Hull responded through Joe Batchelor, Harvey Barron and Lewis Martin to take a 14-12 lead after 59 minutes. Liam Hood’s 68th-minute try, converted by Tom Weaver, proved decisive; Castleford rise to ninth, four points above 12th-placed Hull.
