CREWE Wolves showed their improvement with a gusty second-half fight-back against Chester Wolves.
Hoping for revenge after a 42-22 defeat on the road, Ian Roberts's side were also looking to extend their successful run at Legends.
However three unanswered tries in their first 20 minutes suggested a drubbing was on the cards until Mark Foster gave Crewe hope with an outrageous dummy and try.
An experienced side with good passing, Chester are a tough nut in the Cheshire Conference and simply bossed the first half 22-6.
Re-shuffled through injury, the hosts bounced back from a poor first half to make a fight of it.
Tries from Baggley, Dodd, Flannely and Walter set up a tense last 10 minutes with Chester just about hanging on.
They were mighty relieved to hear the final whistle signal a 38-26 victory, Crewe can take heart from their fighting performance.
League leaders Liverpool Buccaneers are next in Runcorn, this Saturday.
