Castleford have won the Harrison-Bryan Trophy with an impressive 42-10 Boxing Day victory over Hull FC at the Jungle.

New signing Zak Hardaker grabbed the man-of-the-match award and Greg Eden marked his return to Castleford with a hat-trick.

The Tigers got the first score of the match through Mike McMeeken. Hardaker scored next, followed by Greg Minikin.

Eden then got in on the action as he finished under the posts after a Jake Webster break from his own half.

Minkin got his second to bring the first half to an end.

In the second half two more tries came for Eden as well as debut tries for hooker Luke Million and Tuoyo Egodo.

Hull FC finally broke the deadlock with late tries from Callum Lancaster and Jez Litten.
