TYLDESLEY came back from a 12-point deficit to secure a win against bottom of the table Warrington.

An Andy Dickinson score on the stroke of half time reduced the gap by five points to put Tyldesley on the road to recovery.

The majority of the second period was spent in the Warrington half but Tyldesley were not as incisive as previous weeks and struggled to break down a resolute Warrington defence.

However, a second try from Dickinson and one from his younger brother Mark helped secure the win, with Mark converting one to complete the scoring.

Tyldesley need to raise their game when they visit rival promotion hopefuls Bowdon on Saturday.

Tyldesley Colts 3 Fleetwood Colts 13 TYLDESLEY failed to convert some excellent pressure into points as they threw away a third game out of five losses this season.

The teams served up another bone cruncher in a game that was all about defence Tyldesley defended superbly via Unsworth, Schofield, Bowes as the big Fleet forwards came down the centre.

Despite that Tyldesley found themselves three poiints down at after time after Bowes was harshly penalised for a tackle.

Good yardage from Marsh, Rushton, Norton and Ashmead yielded nothing before Fleet crossed for a five pointer.

Tyldesley brought it back to a five-point game, six minutes later, after a well struck Gillbanks penalty.

They should have increased their points tally after excellent team play saw them advance towards Fleet’s 22 on several occasions but strong defence and indecision from the hosts meant there was no reward.

The visitors sealed the game with a try seven minutes from time.
