In many countries the term local derby, or simply just derby, means a sporting fixture between two local rivals.
The term is sometimes also misused to describe major rivalries in which both clubs have substantial regional or national followings.
The first Para is the Hull derby as both team are local due to been from the same city.
Second para is saints / wigan derby. (IE the terminology is misused as your followings are regional and not split within a city (locality))
