Trinity were outstanding to take the cup back to Belle Vue … Berwyn Jones scored two scorchers, but it was the Neil Fox – Harold Poynton combination that continually put Leeds on the back foot, leading to some wonderful rugby league to watch … ⚜️🔴⚪️🔵⚜️

After a shambles of a season so far, Trinity made mass changes and gave out debuts to five players, including four overseas signings and 17-year-old hooker, Billy Conway, who gained man of the match honours … it worked with a fine victory over a tough Dons side, scoring five tries … ⚜️🔴⚪️🔵⚜️

This was not a classic encounter, with Trinity’s makeshift side conceding seven tries against an under par tourist team, many of the tries resulting from Trinity errors … Champions five months earlier, only four of that side pulled on the Trinity shirt this night … ⚜️🔴⚪️🔵⚜️

It was a sloppy performance against a lively Bramley side … Trinity thought they had done enough to secure a 13-13 draw but in the last scrum of the game, Trinity won the feed, but dropped the ball, Bramley scooped it up and raced away to score under the posts … game over … ⚜️🔴⚪️🔵⚜️

It was no consolation that this was one of the best finals for many years … Second Division Rovers, inspired by Neil Fox and Roger Millward took the trophy back to Hull … David Smith scored the try of the game but overall the Rovers forwards dominated down the middle after Trinity led 7-5 at the break … ⚜️🔴⚪️🔵⚜️

Despite scoring 30 points the game is best forgotten with the main story of seven dismissals (five sent off and two sin bins) … the score was 16-6 when the mass brawl saw both sides reduced to eleven men, with Trinity running in three late tries in the wide open Belle Vue spaces… ⚜️🔴⚪️🔵⚜️
