WARRINGTON Rylands returned to winning ways at Ilkeston Town.

Blues, whose 13-match unbeaten run came to an end with a 1-0 home defeat to Guiseley last weekend, bagged a 1-0 success in Derbyshire.

Adama Sidibeh netted the deciding goal in the 81st minute, sending the hosts to their first home defeat since August 28.

The winner was sealed from close range after fellow substitute Ben Hough's initial shot was well saved.

Rylands stay second in the Northern Premier League Premier Division as a result, but remain seven points adrift of leaders Radcliffe who won 1-0 at home to Gainsborough Trinity.

"It was a tight game, a typical Northern Premier game," said Blues manager Michael Clegg.

"I don't think it was any different to last week, or Lancaster, or Bamber, but we just got on the other side of it today.

"We were unlucky with one for offside just before we scored - it was really tight. But we're pleased."

He added: "I thought we were on the front foot in the first half and we had some good sustained possession without really worrying them.

"But we just nicked a really tight game.

"We knew about their long throw and we knew the trouble their number nine causes off set pieces. I thought we dealt with that really well."

Worksop are next up, visiting Gorsey Lane next Saturday.

Clegg said: "We know what threats Worksop have. They're a really good side.

"I went to their game against Guiseley the other night and they've done well so far. They are on an upward trajectory at the moment.

"They're going to be difficult. It's going to be a tight game again. They're going to get all the respect in the world from us but we're tough to beat at home."
