WAKEFIELD Trinity coach Chris Chester admits he can 'sleep better' at last after his side ended their losing run with a fine win over Super League leaders St Helens yesterday.

Trinity had lost their previous five matches, but produced an excellent display to defeat Saints 24-20 at Belle Vue.

Chester watched his side initially surge ahead against opponents who had only been beaten once before this season.

Saints staged a fightback, but Liam Finn – back playing despite a broken finger – slotted the last of his four goals to make sure of a much-needed win.

“I aged about 10 years in the last five minutes, but I couldn’t be more proud of my players,” said Chester, whose Wakefield side had won their opening four games before hitting that slump.
