Four tries from full back Shaun Briscoe stunned the Bulls and lifted Hull to their first ever Super League victory at Odsal.

Briscoe ran straight and hard to post his first try from 15 metres out shortly before half-time but his next three were all spectacular long-range efforts as the Bulls failed to kill off a game they could have won comfortably.

Without Tongan wingers Lesley Vainikolo and Tevita Vaikona and skipper Robbie Paul the Bulls lacked a killer punch and it came back to haunt them late in the second half.

The Bulls were out of the blocks quickly and twice went close in the opening minutes when Paul Deacon targeted Richie Barnett Jr's wing with pinpoint bombs.

The Bradford-born Hull winger knocked on after colliding with Briscoe at the first attempt and could only scramble a second kick over the touchline under pressure from Karl Pryce, who made his starting debut in place of Vaikona on the right wing.

The Hull line withstood the pressure but the first penalty of the night the Bulls' way gave Deacon the field position to lay on the opener for Shontayne Hape.

Deacon simply ghosted across the line and the Hull defence allowed him plenty of time to pick out Hape coming back on the angle and the Kiwi centre's pace took him over for a fifth try in three matches.

Deacon knocked over the conversion but Hull then hit back with two Paul Cooke penalties as referee Ian Smith's early penalty count swung heavily in the visitors' favour.

Briscoe spilled the kick-off after Cooke nailed his second goal but miscommunication saw Anderson fumble under the posts after receiving a flat pass on a dummy run.

The Bulls next big chance came courtesy of another break by the hot-stepping Hape but Jamie Peacock was next to spill a pass in a fine attacking position.

Hull finally worked their way into some decent field position and it took a fantastic goal-line tackle from Paul Johnson to stop Kirk Yeaman going over. Yeaman spilled the ball in the tackle and two plays later Deacon broke in to open territory. Horne was back covering and when he cut down Deacon with a high tackle the crowd feared a repeat of the Easter Monday shocker against St Helens, when Deacon's match was ended prematurely by a sickening high shot by Jon Wilkin.

But the Bulls scrum half bounced quickly back to his feet and a 40-metre penalty goal three minutes later showed no real harm had been done.

Both sides struggled to control the ball in what was a scrappy first half but the Bulls were just about worth their four-point lead with half-time looming. However, coach Brian Noble would not have been pleased with his side being on the wrong side of a

7-4 first-half penalty count, and it was the last of those seven infringements that finally cost them.

Briscoe and Horne were at the heart of every promising move for Hull and it was no surprise when they combined to notch the visitors' opener.

Briscoe ran hard and straight from deep and Horne hit him with a flat pass that split the Bulls' line wide open.

Hull would have had the lead at the break but for Cooke's conversion attempt drifting across the posts.

Whatever Noble said at half-time certainly worked initially, with a much slicker Bulls outfit emerging from the tunnel.

Fielden, Peacock and Radford started to make good yards down the middle and Swann produced a couple of trademark offloads before Leon Pryce broke the line and got his hands free to slip the telling pass to Deacon, who finished from close range.

Deacon added a penalty shortly after and it looked as if the Bulls would coast home.

But they hadn't reckoned on Briscoe, who backed up well to take a pass from Raynor after Horne's offload had sparked the initial break. Raynor drew Withers and Briscoe coasted in for a simple try under the posts, which Cooke converted to cut the deficit to two.

Deacon added another penalty for the Bulls but Briscoe quickly cancelled it out with another long-range effort, this time collecting the final pass from Chris Chester after a suspiciously-forward looking pass from Cooke had put the back rower through. Cooke's conversion put Hull in front for the first time.

The Bulls pack responded with some tremendous drives and they were unlucky not be rewarded with a penalty as the Hull line struggled to get back ten metres on consecutive tackles.

With two minutes left, and his side still two points adrift, Deacon tried a midfield chip kick but Briscoe raced up to collect it and with the Bulls all committed to the chase he simply flashed past them and sprinted 70 metres for the match-winner.

The try sent the Bulls fans stampeding for the exits.

Long after they'd left, the jubilant Hull supporters were still serenading their heroes.
