Hull FC continued their strong start to the Super League season with a victory at struggling Castleford.

Herman Ese'ese barged over the line to give the away side the lead before Rowan Milnes levelled the scores.

Aidan Sezer went over under the posts and Tom Briscoe dotted down in the corner to put the Black and Whites 18-6 up at the break.

Innes Senior was sin-binned for the Tigers for a high tackle on Cade Cust, who was unable to play on, and Lewis Martin went over on the resultant play.

Sezer kicked a penalty to put the game beyond the hosts before former Hull FC man Tex Hoy produced a fine individual score and Josh Simm touched down for the Tigers to complete the scoring.

Hull FC have now won four of their six Super League games this season, while Cas have lost five of their opening half dozen league games.
