Tyldesley met Sandbach knowing that only a win would do and after opening up a substantial lead early in the match allowed the visitors back into the game at the death but held on for a well deserved victory.

With their own pitch frozen Hoppers kindly switched the game to Tyldesley’s ground to avoid a fixture pile up and, whilst it is to their credit that they were willing to travel for the sake of fulfilling the fixture, they must have wished they had stayed at home!

Tyldesley travelled to meet second placed Northwich with a severely depleted team and although they competed for large parts of the game Northwich scored tries at regular intervals to consolidate their place at the top and keep Tyldesley in the relegation zone.

Tyldesley lost against the visitors from South Manchester on Saturday in a game where Burnage capitalised on Tyldesley's mistakes at critical moments to grind out a win.

The current Club Committee's as standing at the moment.

Although our Annual General Meeting is some way off, the Club Committee are embarking on a search for Members to fill the very important roles listed below as part of our "Succession Plan".

Did you know that there are lots of ways that you can support The Club as we move forward into a new , exciting season with:

• Three newly-promoted senior teams,
• A newly-launched Academy and
• A high-performing Junior section.

Sponsorship opportunities exist to suit any pocket - we can arrange to have a pitch-side board, programme advertisements, match sponsorship through to shirt and kit sponsorship - and it is not as costly as you may think.

If you have a business or service to promote, this is an ideal opportunity to get your company name and logo in front of the Tyldesley faithful.

Match sponsorship is an ideal way to 'network' with existing and potential clients - sponsor a match, have a few drinks, enjoy the complemeantary buffet and pick a 'man of the match' - an excellent day out.

Not involved in business but still want to support The Club - why not get together with a few friends, work colleagues or family etc to sponsor a match?

For more information, please ring me for a chat.
