Last Sunday Victoria Plumb were the proud sponsors of the Richard Horne testimonial game between Hull FC and local rivals Hull KR.

The match was a great event with over 16,000 supporters turned out at the KC Stadium, on a bitterly cold, but clear, January afternoon, to show their gratitude for the ten years of service Richard Horne has given to Hull since his debut in 1999 against Leeds Rhinos.

Horne was given a standing ovation by both sets of fans as he addressed them on the pitch ahead of kick-off and the home team ran out victorious with a 28 – 16 win over their east Hull rivals.

The win is the first time Hull FC have beaten Hull KR since July 2008, after failing in their last 4 attempts.
