Kurt Holmes flicked in a third soon after the restart and it appeared the reserves were finished. But Paul McVey, Jon Barton and Matthew Barton levelled the scores with three minutes to go. Trojans rallied, however, and a superb flick-through fron Bagnall was hammered home by Andy Giles to make it 4-3 at the whistle.
