Matty Ashton soon replied for Warrington before Anthony Gelling edged the Wolves into an 8-6 lead on the half hour mark.

Andy Last’s side went back in front just moments later as Joe Cator charged over, with Marc Sneyd adding a drop goal just before the break to give Hull a 13-8 lead at half-time.

Chris Satae extended Hull’s lead shortly after the second half restart before Ashton got his second of the night.

Sneyd added a penalty goal in the 68th minute to put Hull into a 21-14 advantage.

Jake Connor capped a final individual performance with a try late on to seal a 27-14 play-off win for the Black and Whites. Hull will meet League Leaders’ Shield winners Wigan at the DW Stadium next Thursday.
