Former Castleford player Danny Brough scored a try, set up another and kicked two goals as Wakefield secured their third win of the season.

Jamie Rooney and Aaron Murphy's touchdowns put the hosts 12-0 ahead, but Castleford fought back through Luke Dorn and Peter Lupton tries.

Wakefield extended their two-point lead before the break when Sam Obst crossed.

Dorn scored his second of the match after Brough's fine individual score and Ryan Atkins's try sealed the win.

Wakefield coach John Kear:
"It was hard work - you don't expect anything else in conditions like this.

"I thought Castleford caused us some problems tonight but I am really happy with the result.

"The idea was to make a good fist of the first half, but we showed them how to play it the wind - they completed 16 out of 18 sets in the second half."

Castleford coach Terry Matterson:
"You can't chase that - it was a dumb performance," he said, referring to the 16-10 deficit at half-time.

"There are no excuses, we have got 17 players out there that are good enough to do the job.

"In the second half, we played some good footy and I thought we were a touch unlucky there at 16-10."
