What do you mean by 'didn't work'? Threw an error? Gave unexpected results?

One thing I noticed in the 'section 1' was the line SET ROWCOUNT 1 which, from what I...

Order of operations within a trigger is the same as within any other sql code, from top to bottom according to normal control flow commands (while, if)

I think you left out the group by

SELECT c.vcPostcode, COUNT(r.SFID), COUNT(t.iCALL_RESULT_ID)
