But manager Lee Sinnott refused to blame the freezing conditions for the defeat, instead criticising his side’s “schoolboy defending.”

Trinity recovered from conceding an early goal to draw level 1-1 at half-time, but they quickly fell 3-1 behind.

“We shot ourselves in the foot (after half-time),” said Sinnott. “A couple of bad errors cost us points.

“It was schoolboyish defending — that’s the frustrating thing.”
