An early penalty in the second half by Phil Howard extended the lead to 10-0 until two tries in the space of five minutes from Paddy Mallon and hooker Aaron Dundon put the game beyond Trinity’s reach. Howard again adding the extras on both occasions.
Sub Simon Crawford rounded things off six minutes from time with a fine try and Phil Howard maintained his 100% kicking display with an excellent conversion.
