Stay with us for a match report and reaction on the Express and Courier websites. Thank you for your company this afternoon.

Trin certainly didn’t have it all their own in that second half as Widdop and Woodburn-Hall gave them some thinking to do. But Derrell Olpherts certainly took some stopping throughout. His four tries have proved crucial today. A great win for Wakey but there are some positives for Liam Finn and Fax who can hold their heads up high.

The hooter sounds!! Wakey win 46-24.

We’re into the final two minutes here.

46-24

Jowitt nails the conversion.

46-24

It’s Liam Hood who barges over.

44-24

Wakey are over for try number eight!

44-24

Jouffret makes it four from four.

40-24

Fax are over for their fourth try of the game. Matty Gee touches down.

40-22

Jowitt with another great kick. 40 up for Trin.

40-18

It’s another carbon copy, this time from his hat-trick, as he steams over powerfully on the far side. If there were any doubts after that mini-Fax fightback, I think they are gone now.

38-12

Olpherts again. Try number four the winger!!

38-18

Jowitt makes the conversion.

34-18

Great play by Trin as they move it to the left - that’s where their main joy has come today - and Olpherts splendidly converts in the corner.

32-18

Wakefield maintain their pressure - and it’s a hat-trick for Derrell Olpherts!

32-18

Walmsley and Pratt make great ground as Wakefield suddenly come to life. However, when the ball is back with Walmsley on the right he can’d find Croft cleanly who tries to move it to Olpherts quickly but the pass is forward. That is Walmsley’s last action for the moment as he leaves the field.

28-18

Jouffret makes it three from three.

28-18

Incredible. Fax go back-to-back. Woodburn-Hall, provider for Widdop, is over himself. Two in two minutes and Fax are right back in this contest.

28-16
