The out of town location suits visiting fans with good road access and free parking near to the ground.
The stadium is really smart, all seated 8500 capacity, with good catering facilities. A great away following for the Mighty Trin, over 1200 supporters in the ground.
Trinity dominated the first 30 minutes and scored 4 really good first half tries all well converted by Max Jowitt in difficult swirling wind conditions.
York played their part in sticking to trying to play an expansive game but the Trinity defence nullified their attacks through out the game.
The referee seemed intent on penalising Wakefield at regular intervals from late into the first half until the end of the game to try and even the game up which also resulted in York scoring their only try.
A late try gave Wakefield the 40 points score which was well deserved.
Still early season so for sure onwards and upwards, the performances can only improve with game time and fitness.
Back home and a couple of glasses of red and a meal.
Back to reality tomorrow, that four lettered word..... WORK!!
