Hull derby serious as ever for Washbrook

Hull FC forward Danny Washbrook is readying himself for a tough derby game with Hull KR this Sunday for the Clive Sullivan Trophy.

With Rovers having been relegated to the Championship last season, this ‘friendly’ match will be the only Hull derby of 2017, and Washbrook is urging fans to make sure they attend the game at the KCOM.

“It’s important that they turn out for it,” he said.

“I know some people say there’s been a bit of overkill with the derby for the past few years because we’ve played them in friendlies and then three times in a season and Magic Weekend.

“But hopefully the fans will come out and show plenty of support because it’s the only one of the year.”
