A Mason Lino drop goal proved the difference as Wakefield Trinity came up with a 13-12 victory over Castleford Tigers in Rivals Round at the DIY Kitchens Stadium.
Three unconverted tries gave Castleford the lead after 40 minutes, a Jason Qareqare double plus a Sam Wood effort putting the visitors on top.
However, Wakefield hit back in the second 40 through Harvey Smith and Max Jowitt tries, Jowitt converting both to bring the scores level at 12-12.
The defining moment then came as Lino sent over the one-pointer on the 76th minute, the victory remarkably being Wakefield’s first home win in the West Yorkshire derby since September 2013 as their return to Super League continues to gain momentum.
The win is also Wakefield’s first on home turf in 2025, adding to away wins against Leeds Rhinos, Warrington Wolves, and Leigh Leopards.
