Wakefield 3 Mossley 2
Wakefield continued their good form as three early goals saw them see off Mossley, despite a nervous final ten minutes.
An unchanged Bears side raced into the lead in the twelfth minute when Tom Denton coolly slotted away a penalty after Brandon Kane had been felled in the area.
A header back from Denton found Wes Milnes who picked himself to convert at the second attempt and double Wakefield's advantage.
Minutes later Denton superbly nodded in an excellent right wing cross to make the score 3-0 and leave Mossley with a mountain to climb.
A penalty from Matty Kay pulled one goal back for Mossley before half time after Adam Jones was adjudged to have handled in the area.
The second half was a more even affair, although Mossley struggled to break down a solid Wakefield defence and were limited to half chances on goal.
Jones conceded another penalty with 12 minutes remaining which Matty Kay duly converted to set up a tense finale, but The Bears hung on for the three points.

Good game Mossley had chances but could not break our defence down, only by two pens, and Jan had a great game in the goal...
I was at the match last night in a "groundhopping" capacity - thought it was an enyoyable game, with Mossley having plenty of possession and passing the ball better but ultimately regretting a slow start when Wakey scored all their goals.
Good luck for the rest of the season
