Dewsbury Moor Maroons 24 Rylands Sharks 44.

RYLANDS boosted hopes of a top-six finish as they produced one of their finest performances of the season to secure victory at Dewsbury Moor.

Max Vernon opened the scoring for the Yorkshiremen, but Sharks hit back with three tries in ten minutes through Chris Dean, Jack Lewis and Dave Walker.

James Eatherley scored an interception try for the hosts before Lewis’ second score gave the visitors a 10-point lead at the interval Rylands came flying out of the traps in the second half and a 15-minute hat-trick from Nick Braide stamped their authority on the game.

Tries from Jack Riding and Brad Samme gave Dewsbury hope, but Jamie Clarke rounded off the scoring to secure a memorable win for Matt Wilson’s side.

With three of their final four games to be played at home, the Sharks are well-placed to seal a spot in the end-of-season shake-up Rylands: Luke Walker; Chris Meacock, Troy Brophy, Jordan Paget, Adam Thompson; Jack Lewis, Tony Doyle; Stuart Shaw, Craig Harris, Chris Dean, Brad McAlpine, Nick Braide, Jamie Clarke.
