    Thanks for your company during this, the ninth edition of Magic Weekend.

    We've had four hat-tricks, a red card, plenty of points, great comebacks and a thrilling last-gasp draw over the past two days.

    A record cumulative attendance of almost 68,000 would suggest Newcastle has been an excellent host.

    Remember, you can watch highlights of all this weekend's action on the Super League Show tomorrow night at 23:25 BST on BBC One, and throughout the week on the BBC iPlayer.

    Castleford Tigers winger Denny Solomona, who scored four tries, told Sky Sports: "It was pretty good and a great atmosphere in Newcastle.

    "They came out firing and we expected that. We just needed to stick to our game plan. We let them back in and they rocked the boat from there."

    "That's as comprehensive a result as we've seen at any Magic Weekend. Wakefield left to lick their wounds, Castleford back to winning ways and they're purring once again."

    Castleford Tigers have thrashed Super League's bottom side Wakefield, running in 10 tries to complete this exhausting, exhilarating Magic Weekend in Newcastle.

  5. TRY (Gibson, goal Gale)published at 19:19 British Summer Time 31 May 2015

    Well, the video referee makes the call on something that was plain to see. Ashley Gibson stretches over to complete his treble.

    Just moments earlier, it looked as if Liam Finn was going to notch up one of his own, but somehow he slipped and was wrapped up.

    Ashley Gibson for a hat-trick of his own now?

    Denny Solomona can make them as well as he can finish them. The winger explodes through Wakefield's defensive line, then links up with Oliver Holmes, who then moves the ball onto Luke Gale to score.

    Gale steps up to knock over the conversion and bring up a half century for the Tigers. Wakefield look well beaten.

    Staring down a potential record-making try, Denny Solomona is bundled into touch.

    Put that milestone on hold...

    Castleford are just easing through their sets at the moment. They eat through 69 metres before putting in a kick that Chris Riley collects in goal. It's a goal-line dropout and the attack is on again.

    Line up Tigers, the try line is begging. Nathan Massey knocks on as Castleford close in again.

    Two players have scored five tries in a Magic Weekend fixture before - Warrington's Joel Monaghan and Leeds' Danny McGuire, both in Manchester three years ago.

    Denny Solomona has four tries already - is he about to join that select group?

  12. TRY (Solomona, goal Gale)published at 19:00 British Summer Time 31 May 2015

    Luke Gale with the high kick and between them Richard Owen and Tom Johnstone make a mess of it. Waiting to pounce is Denny Solomona, who is having a crackerjack day, to get his fourth try.

    "Ashley Gibson, with a one-handed grip, finds the corner and it's great skill from him."

  14. TRY (Gibson, goal Gale)published at 18:57 British Summer Time 31 May 2015

    Castleford centre Jake Webster holds two defenders at bay a few metres out and, with a spin, finds Ashley Gibson lurking. The winger goes in for his second score in quick succession.

    Castleford hooker Adam Milner leaves the field holding onto his nose in an attempt to stem a stream of blood. It has been a tough old day for combatants today.

    Milner had come on early to replace Scott Moore, who went off after a head clash with Scott Anderson.

    Is that sixth Castleford Tigers try enough to break Wakefield's resolve?

    It is a long way back for the Wildcats, but we have seen some great fightbacks today, from Catalans Dragons and Huddersfield sharing the spoils to St Helens overcoming Warrington.

    That kick-off allows Castleford to go back up field and pile the pressure on.

    Mike McMeeken does a step and shuffle with tacklers gathering around him and then he finds Jake Webster who pushes the ball to Ashley Gibson to sneak over unchallenged.

    Wakefield's kick-off is long, too long, and goes dead to put Castleford back in possession.

    "Oh dear. It was a nice kick from Luke Gale, took a check of a bounce and Denny Solomona wasn't that interested in the first 10 metres. He upped his pace and Richard Owen's come up with an error that really hurts his team. He perhaps took too much time and his team have paid the price."

    Luke Gale kick to the corner bounces awkwardly and holds up in front of Richard Owen and the Wakefield winger slips to see Denny Solomona run in his hat-trick.
