MATCH SUMMARY Bradford: (8) 23 Tries: Langley, Bai, Hape, Gene Goals: Deacon 3 Drop goal: Deacon Hull: (6) 12 Try: R Horne 2 Goals: Brough 2

Jamie Langley's try and two Paul Deacon kicks gave Bradford an early 8-0 lead, before Hull hit back through Richard Horne for an 8-6 half-time score.

Iestyn Harris' vision saw Bradford's Marcus Bai and Shontayne Hape stretch their lead after the break.

Horne crossed again to cut the gap, but a late try from Bradford replacement Stanley Gene sealed Hull's fate.

In conditions reminiscent of the old winter rugby days, both teams preferred to keep things simple with the rain-soaked Odsal pitch cutting up from the first whistle.

Hull winger Kirk Dixon was guilty of spurning a clear try-scoring chance in the first minute, knocking on in the corner with the line at his mercy.

Bradford took the lead soon after through Paul Deacon's simple penalty, and their first try came after a Hull attack broke down.

Bai's challenge freed up the ball for team-mate Ben Harris, and the Bulls took advantage with Karl Pryce offloading for Langley to go over.

Bradford's power began to tell in the second half

Horne's jinking run took him over the Bulls line, but a superb tackle from Bulls full-back Michael Withers prevented him from touching the ball down.

But Horne responded soon after by again darting over the line with a subtle sidestep and this time he made no mistake in getting the ball down.

After the break, an inch-perfect cross-kick from the impressive Iestyn Harris supplied Bai with a try wide out on the right.

And soon after another clever Iestyn Harris kick helped Bradford effectively make the game safe.

Hull winger Gareth Raynor was outjumped by Lesley Vainikolo, and the knockback fell to Hape to dive over.

Deacon added a drop-goal, but Horne's second try cut the gap to 19-12 and raised hopes of a Hull comeback.

But Hull's chances were undermined by handling errors, and Iestyn Harris' long pass gave Gene the chance to scoot over and secure Bradford's passage into the fifth round.
