It was the first time the two sides had met in a league fixture at Dewsbury in 26 years. But it was well worth the wait for the hundreds of Trin fans who made the journey across West Yorkshire as Daryl Powell’s men came out on top in a 42-16 victory.
Wakefield ran in four tries in the first half through Max Jowitt, Harvey Smith, Ky Rodwell and Derrell Olpherts after the Rams had taken a shocking early lead thanks to Perry Whiteley.
But a further four tries followed in the second half as Jowitt completed his hat-trick to help Wakey restore their seven-point lead at the top of the table, much to the delight of the travelling support.
Struggling Dewsbury, however, were far from disgraced, as both sets of fans created a fantastic atmosphere.
