SECOND HALF

Trinity didn’t take long to level the scores when a penalty conceded by the Wire gave Ryan Hampshire the chance to make the score 2-2.

Ten minutes into the second half, ill-discipline again gave the Hampshire the opportunity to add points from a penalty from an almost identical position making the score 4-2.

The Wire threatened to grab the first try of the game soon after as Jake Mamo’s pace created an opportunity but Gareth Widdop couldn’t collect the inside pass.

An error from Tom Lineham in his own half put Warrington under more pressure and a late hit from Joe Philbin meant that Hampshire could extend his sides lead with an easy penalty goal. 6-2.

Just after the hour-mark, Warrington did manage to cross the line for the game's first try. The debuting Widdop found Ben Currie’s angled run and he in turn fed a neat offload to the supporting Ratchford. The Wire captain converted his own try to put Warrington back in front 6-8.

With ten minutes remaining, Trinity grabbed their first try of the afternoon when Matty Ashurst crashed onto a short ball and got the better of Mamo and Austin. Hampshire kicked his 4^th goal of the game to make it 12-8.

Warrington went in search of another score to get themselves back into the game but it was Tom Johnstone who got on the end of a loose pass from Mamo to sprint 50 meters and seal the game for Trinity. Hampshire maintaind his 100% record to make it 18-8.
