Championship: Wakefield Trinity v Widnes Vikings LIVE

Thank you as always for your company this afternoon. Wakefield will now look to secure the Shield at Halifax Panthers next week. Goodbye for now!

More importantly, they are now just ONE win away from securing the League Leaders’ Shield!

Wakefield come out on top here against Widnes thanks to tries from Ky Rodwell, Derrell Olpherts, Liam Hood, Jermaine McGillvary, Max Jowitt and Lachlan Walmsley. They were much better in that second half weren’t they?!

The hooter sounds!

...is missed by Jowitt!! Right in front of the posts too! It remains 36-12.

Walmsley bursts over the line!! And that’s Walmsley level with Olpherts on 18 tries for the season in the race for being the Championship’s top try scorer!

Lachlan Walmsley is over now!!!!

Into the final ten minutes. Eight to go now and Wakefield have just sealed the win for sure with that.

It’s a great run by McGillvary who steps inside and out, mesmerising the Widnes defence before teeing up Jowitt who races clear.

It’s yet another wonderful Wakefield Trinity try!! Max Jowitt is on the try sheet but that was all about Jermaine McGillvary!

It’s another penalty for Trin and Jowitt makes no mistake in front of the sticks.

Into the final quarter of the game now. Wakey two scores in front.

What a strike of the ball that was by Jowitt. Struck purely and it flies over.

Widnes hit back at the previous Wakefield try. But is this when Trin put their foot on the gas?
