LINO STRIKES LAST-GASP WINNER
WAKEFIELD TRINITY 15 LEEDS RHINOS 14
STEPHEN IBBETSON DIY Kitchens Stadium, Thursday
MASON LINO struck the winning field-goal with ten seconds remaining to secure Wakefield a priceless derby victory over Leeds.
Trinity trailed by six points heading into the closing stages after a Jarrod O’Connor try, but Matty Storton helped level matters before Lino held his nerve from almost 35 metres out.
It brought jubilation to the majority of a sold-out crowd, the largest at this ground for twelve years, and lifts Wakefield - at least temporarily - back into sixth place.
They have also secured bragging rights for the season over one of their biggest rivals with two victories to one - this even closer than a 14-12 victory in round one and 22-18 defeat in May, both at Headingley.
