Hull FC are in the Challenge Cup fourth round draw after defeating York Acorn 52-6 at Featherstone’s Millennium Stadium. Here are the ratings.

Logan Moy - Took a few big hits, but as always, the teenage full-back never backed down. 6

Joe Ward - Carried hard. A fair debut on the wing from the teenager. Got stuck in. 6

Harvey Barron - A breakaway try in the second half and added a second later on, powering over. He ran strong in the centre. 7

Ryan Westerman - Two slick moments for two of Martin’s tries. Got a neat catch and pass on him. Also kicked well with eight out of nine conversions. Encouraging. 7

Lewis Martin - The winger scored a hat-trick of tries, but it was his work out of the backfield that was most impressive. Every carry was energetic, and he got Hull moving forward. Also safe under high ball when required. 9

Lloyd Kemp - The young half was brave against a physical opponent and stepped in well. Scored a debut try and looked to link into the attack. 7

Cade Cust - One or two loose balls but backed up well for his try, showing a clean pair of heels. Some encouraging moments too. Taken off in the second half. 6

Jack Ashworth - Played a huge stint. Ran strong and mixed it with the York Acorn forwards. One barnstorming carry from the back fence got everyone going. 7

Denive Balmforth - Scored one try and looked to get Hull ticking. Played the first half at hooker and the second at half-back. 6

Yusuf Aydin - Big minutes as always on his first appearance of the season. 6

Brad Fash - Played in the back row. Did his job. 6

Oliver Holmes - A first appearance of the year. Went off sore, but the consensus is that he’s okay. 6

John Asiata - As expected, everything went through the loose-forward. Scored a try and linked well. Going to add an extra dimension to Hull this year. It may all take some time to click but when it does, it will be worth the wait. 7

Will Gardiner - Came off the bench and looked to get involved. 6

Hugo Salabio - Went well off the bench. A good first appearance. 6

Will Kirby - Got stuck in and played big minutes. 6

Will Hutchinson - Another debutant in the second half in what was a young side. A slow and scrappy game didn't help the hooker, but he kept going. 6
