Curtis Naughton claimed his second try five minutes from time as Hull FC ended Warrington Wolves' unbeaten start to the season with a dramatic 26-24 win at the KC Stadium. <br /> <br />Warrington looked on course to claim an eighth successive win in the First Utility Super League after snuffing out Hull's recovery from 20-10 down with a second try from former home favourite Tom Lineham. <br /> <br />But in a compelling encounter losing nothing in entertainment value from the heavy Easter programme, Hull had the final word. <br /> <br />Marc Sneyd chipped through and gathered his own kick to score the opening try, but Warrington responded with some now almost typical Chris Sandow magicm as the scrum-half wrong-footed the Hull defence and found Ben Currie, who sent Ryan Atkins clear. <br /> <br />The visitors took the lead as Lineham barged his way over from a quick tap penalty. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Buzzing with that win! Great effort by the boys effort.

You're running on fumes going into the game and 10-15 minutes in you really feel that. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Great effort from the boys today!

They are sat at the top of the table for a reason. <br /> <br />“The brand of footy they play is really attractive and we knew we would have to be right on our game to get a result out of it. We are really pleased with that." <br /> <br />Warrington coach Tony Smith was not too downbeat about the result given the work asked of his players over Easter, adding: "There are things we would normally like to do better, but you can't be disappointed after playing Friday and coming out again on Monday. <br /> <br />“I thought it was a fantastic effort from both teams. <br /> <br />"It was five tries each and we could have pinched it right at the end. We had opportunities to score a few more but we were a bit off there on execution. You can get that on certain days and with short turnarounds.” <br />MONDAY 28TH MARCH 2016 <br />15:00 - ROUND: 8 <br />26 : 24 FT <br />( 10 - 20 HT ) <br />ATTENDANCE : <br />OFFICIAL: R HICKS <br />VENUE: KINGSTON COMMUNICATIONS STADIUM <br />SCORERS <br /> <br />HULL FC <br />TRIES <br />MARC SNEYD, JAMIE SHAUL, CURTIS NAUGHTON 2, KIRK YEAMAN, <br />GOALS <br />MARC SNEYD 2, JAMIE SHAUL, <br /> <br />WARRINGTON WOLVES <br />TRIES <br />RYAN ATKINS, TOM LINEHAM 2, CHRIS SANDOW, KEVIN PENNY, <br />GOALS <br />CHRIS SANDOW, STEFAN RATCHFORD,
