Lowly Hull FC stunned second-placed Leeds Rhinos to end a dire Super League season in style.

The result, coupled with Wigan Warriors' thumping 50-12 win over Catalans Dragons, saw Matt Peet's men claim the League Leaders' Shield.

Hull FC have endured an incredibly difficult 2026 but took a deserved lead through Logan Moy's score before Chris Hankinson's try made it 6-6 at the break.

Lloyd Kemp put the Black and Whites back in front after Leeds failed with a short drop-out and, after the home side blew chances to level the scores with handling errors, Lennon Clark went over.

Kallum Watkins set up a big finish with a try with three minutes to go but the hard-working visitors held out for a shock win.

Brad Arthur's Leeds side were badly disjointed in attack throughout against a team who had won seven of 26 games going into Friday's meeting and have now lost four of their past nine games.

They will have two weeks to stew on this result before hosting their play-off semi-final on Friday, 25 September.
