Hull Kingston Rovers have claimed local bragging rights in the 224th Hull city derby with a 20-6 victory over rivals Hull FC in Thursday evening's clash at the KC Stadium.
Terry Campese opened the scoring for the visitors after just four minutes played when he crossed over to the right of the posts after collecting Kieran Dixon's pass, before Josh Mantellato added a conversion.
Dixon then added a try of his own in the 26th minute after once again marauding through the FC defence before crossing, with Mantellato adding two more points with his boot.
The hosts pulled some points back when Leon Pryce made the most of Dixon's spill to dive down and seal a try, but the visitors reopened up the 14-point gap when Shaun Lunt latched on to Fetuli Talanoa's ball to cross over.
With the home side struggling to make chances, Mantellato kicked the only points of the second half as KR held on for the win.
