Wakefield Trinity impress against York

As for the game, Wakefield got off to a flier at the LNER Community Stadium, racing into an 18-0 advantage inside the first dozen minutes.

Gale got Trinity’s first of the afternoon, touching down Walmsley kick inside after being put away by former York loanee Oli Pratt.

Max Jowitt, who missed just one attempt at goal from seven efforts, added the conversion.

Wakefield then profited down the right edge as former England star McGillvary touched down after a neat shift play.

Ex-Hull FC man Josh Griffin then got on the scoreboard when latching onto Mason Lino’s bullet pass.

Trinity found their fourth try midway through the first 40 minutes when Walmsley dived in at the left corner and while York conjured plenty of field position for the remainder of the half, they could not find a way through.

Like in the first period, Wakefield started quickly after the restart as Uele spun over the line to the left of the sticks on 45 minutes.

Walmsley then grabbed his second by profiting from a cut-out pass from full-back Jowitt.

York continued to press for their first score with Liam Harris twice forcing Jowitt into conceding drop-outs in back-to-back sets, but Trinity held strong until the final 10 minutes.

Jubb eventually found a way through when diving over from Jesse Dee’s clever offload.

The visitors would end the afternoon with a late score however, Walmsley going over for his hat-trick try in the game’s final play down the left flank.
