Asim Collomosse and Zak Harrod both bagged two tries for the Trojans, who recovered from a half-time deficit to lead with minutes of the game remaining.

But four try’s from Albion’s Kyle Welsh and an ice-cool conversion from Liam Evans right at the death sealed the win for Keighley in a topsy-turvy match.
