Mason Lino's 38-point haul in Wakefield Trinity's 110-0 defeat of Newcastle Thunder broke a club record for most points scored in a game

Wakefield Trinity scored 19 tries as they racked up a club record 110-0 win over Newcastle Thunder in the 1895 Cup.

Mason Lino scored three tries and kicked 13 goals as he amassed a Trinity record 38 points in a single game.

The visitors ran in 11 tries to lead 64-0 at half-time and when Lino converted a 60th-minute try, that brought up the century.

Wakefield, relegated from Super League last year, will now play Barrow Raiders in the quarter-finals.

That match will take place on the weekend of 2 March, with the Championship season set to begin on 15 March.

Lino had been sent off last week for his part in a brawl during Wakefield's Challenge Cup win over Siddal and it was only when designated kicker Max Jowitt left the field at 32-0 that he was required to step up.

"Max Jowitt is an exceptional goal kicker but Mason took over when he went off," said Wakefield head coach Daryl Powell.

"Mason looked pretty tidy and just missed one from the right-hand side right on the touchline but he was very good.

"He's a fantastic runner of the ball, he was pretty creative and his goal-kicking was high quality."
