Hull defeated Leeds 20-16 in Jamie Jones-Buchanan's testimonial game in front of a 5,329 crowd.

The Airlie Birds hit the front early on when Richard Horne fed brother Graeme to give the visitors a 6-0, Danny Tickle adding the extras.

Horne (Richard) and new signing Chris Thorman linked up well at half back against a Leeds team missing regular playmakers Rob Burrow, Danny McGuire and Kevin Sinfield, giving fans hope that the pair will do well when Super League starts in less than a fortnight.

Hull went in 12-0 up at the break, but Leeds hit back with a try at the start of the second half, reducing arrears to 12-4. A clever kick from Horne was snapped up by Kirk Yeaman who restored Hull's two score advantage. A mistake by former Rhino Mark Calderwood gave Ryan Hall a simple try for the home side, who were surprisingly lacklustre in front of their home crowd.

Leeds added a further try in the closing stages, but there was still time for Hull to slot over a late penalty to seal a confidence boosting win, ahead of their opening Super League game against Wigan on February 13.
