Cameron's penalty from the halfway line followed before centre Laurence Pearce was yellow carded.

Westoe centre James Clark scored two tries but Hull regained the lead just before the interval when the ball was charged down to Tevita Vaikona, who got to within 10m of the line before passing for Robin Kitching to cross.

The second half saw Hull extend their lead as Cameron's chip found Kitching in the left corner and he held the ball long enough for Cameron to take the return pass and go over.

Westoe took a bonus point as Mark Olugbodie was given space to finish, Dan Rayson converting.

A burst of scoring against the run of play saw Fylde get on top and go on to inflict Huddersfield's 10th successive defeat.

Seeking to regain their early-season form, Huddersfield started well and Chris Johnson's penalty and a try from Nick Sharpe put them ahead.

Fylde hit back with a converted try but the visitors were having the better of possession when a hack-on resulted in a try just before the break and a stoppage-time penalty put the home side 17-8 in front.

Huddersfield started the second half with a man in the sin bin but Johnson struck a penalty before hopes were dashed when they conceded a third converted try.

Johnson landed his third kick but even though Huddersfield more than matched Fylde in the last quarter, they were unable to add to their score.

Stuart Dixon's Bees had genuine ambitions of taking at least a bonus point but they were unable to match the pace and industry of the Lions.

A try from captain Gareth Collins and two penalties from Jon Boden put the Lions on top. Steve Cross powered through for another try and it was 24-11 at the break, prop Roger Raper having scored a try for the Bees.

It took the Lions another 20 minutes to score but the Bees lacked an attacking threat until the introduction of Phil Greaves, who provided the power to batter the home defence.

The Lions improved their score with two further tries before a reply from Bees captain Ryan Wederall.

The Bees' woes were compounded as they lost two of their most consistent performers, Guy Ford and Tom Cokell, to injuries ahead of vital games.
