Halifax ensured that Wakefield continue to struggle at Belle Vue, scoring seven tries to notch up an impressive away win by a 20-point margin.

However, Wakefield were in contention until the final quarter of the match, and scored first through a ninth-minute Ian Knott penalty.

But two tries in the space of three minutes from David Woods and Jamie Bloem - who each converted their own touch downs - ensured the visitors took command.

Colum Halpenny added another four points soon afterwards.

The home team did give themselves hope at the interval after Brad Davis and Kris Tassell ran in tries.

But Halpenny and Woods wasted no time in extending the Blue Sox's lead after the break.
