Tyldesley 29 Dukinfield 5

WITH just two games to play, Tyldesley regained top spot thanks to Saturday's bonus-point win.

They now require only four points to guarantee promotion and five to secure the title.

Although way below their best, Bongs completed their home league campaign unbeaten.

Tyldesley never got going and constantly played into the hands of a robust Dukinfield side through some poor game management and rushed plays.

With 26 minutes played, and a couple of genuine opportunities squandered, the hosts recorded the first score as a result of a good catch and drive from a line-out, with Adam Fetherston touching down at the back.

Dukinfield hit back within minutes, and would have taken the lead, had it not been for the ball hitting the crossbar from a well-struck conversion.

Tyldesley regained the lead after Crampton took a line-out ball, before Craig Pulman fed Lee Davies who ghosted through the large gap created. Man of the match Paul Martin converted.

The hosts' performance improved slightly during the second forty, but still many unforced errors prevented any fluidity as the game continued to be a stop-start affair.

With the game approaching the hour and Bongs down to 14, Matt Crampton recorded a third try after another good catch and drive pushed Dukinfield back.

Crampton recorded his second and Bongs' fourth bonus-point try, which secured the points with eight minutes remaining.

With the game secured, Tyldesley started to play some good supporting rugby which was rewarded with a great try from Zak Sargent, converted by Martin.

Tyldesley travel to the Isle of Man to play Vagabonds on Saturday.
