WAKEFIELD TRINITY boss Chris Chester was full of pride in his team’s against-the-odds performance after seeing them complete a Betfred Super League double over Leeds Rhinos.

Trinity were without a dozen senior players through injury, but produced a magnificent defensive effort and some clinical finishing in a memorable 26-24 success.

“It was a great all-round team effort,” Chester said.

“I know I said it after the Hull game and I’ll probably get some stick, but I genuinely feel that win was my best at Wakefield Trinity.”

Nineteen-year-old winger Lee Kershaw scored Trinity’s opening try and Chester added: “This is a team that will never get beaten on effort.

“I thought the team spirit we’ve got was evident and we fought to the very last minute.

“We gave an opportunity to a young kid who I thought was fantastic.

“He didn’t look out of place, carried the ball strongly and is certainly one for the future.
