RYLANDS Sharks fought back from 8-0 behind and ran away with Saturday's North West Counties Amateur Rugby Leaue Premier Division derby' in the second half.

Latchford went ahead with two quick tries from Tony Faitaua and Andy Rawlinson but Rylands came storming back before half time with three converted tries from Jamie Evans, Carl Lloyd and Neil Evans for an 18-8 half-time lead.

Rylands piled on the pressure in the second half as Latchford tired and some slick handling was rewarded with braces of tries for Mike Ward and Mark Martin, with Leonard completing five conversions.

Best for Rylands were Peter Leonard, Martin and first-team debut players Jimmy Harrison and Chris Forrest, while John Williams was best for Latchford.
