SAINTS fell to a heart-breaking defeat courtesy of Mark Sneyd's late 40 metre drop goal.
The Hull half back hit the mark just a minute after Saints’ Theo Fages had seen his drop goal effort flap wide at the end of a blood-and-thunder encounter.
Hull took the spoils with a marginally better second half game management as Saints were left to rue the odd bad call, wrong option or a mistake that was magnified in importance in the end.
Ultimately a missed goal kick from Jack Owens, just on half time, proved to be the difference on the scoreboard.
