TYLDESLEY RU made it seven consectutive wins with a 28-10 victory over Bury at a wet and muddy Well Street on Saturday. The heavy conditions made running rugby near impossible so the early exchanges where confined to both sets of forwards driving the ball down the middle of the park. Tyldesley used the ball better and two infrigements by the Bury forwards allowed Eddie Wallbank to land two early penalties. Bury responded by ploughing their way up field and scoring the first try of the game wide on the right. However Tyldesley extended their lead when again good pressure from the forwards allowed Flanker Lee Berrisford to cross the line for a try converted by Wallbank.

The second half saw Tyldesley in a more postive mood with Skipper Lee Cunliffe leading from the front, following a good drive from a lineout close to the Bury line, Cunliffe was on hand to burrow his way through a pile of defenders. Another Wallbank penalty extended the home sides lead before Bury again used the ball well scoring wide on the left wing. With the clock ticking away Tyldesley captilised on Bury failing to clear a long kick and Cunliffe danced his way past four defenders before touching down near the post to give Wallbank a simple conversion. Outstanding on the day was Centre Stewart Manning with some bone crushing tackles and Flanker Craig Pulman who worked hard in the pack. Next Saturday Tyldesley travel to Broughton hoping to maintain their winning run.

Tyldesley second team travelled to Bury and ran out convincing winners with a 27-0 victory, tries came from Graham Harrop (2), Shaun Pulman and Brent Broadhurst with Harrop landing two conversions and a penalty.
