Having led the match 4-1, the visitors were pegged back to 4-3 before eventually seeing out the win.

The win over second-placed Hull kept Telford in third place but also saw them move within two points of table-topping Sheffield Steeldogs.

Hull took the lead after two minutes but were soon found themselves three goals down thanks to strikes from Corey Goodison, Dale White, Richard Plant and Jonathan Weaver.

The Pirates ensured a frantic finish scoring two late goals.
