Lymm grabbed a double of their own to put them ahead. Andrew Rowley scored first, followed by Thomas Shard, who slotted both conversions to make it 21-14 at the break.

The nip-and-tuck action continued in the second 40. Lymm's Harry Martin scored to make it 28-14. Tigers responded quickly through Archer, but Baker couldn't convert.

The Tigers added two more tries through James Broadley and Harry Cartwright. Baker knocked over both conversions, and the home side were back ahead at 33-28.

Lymm's James Kimber cancelled out Cartwright's effort straight away, with Shard adding his fifth from the tee, but Broadley swiftly restored the home side's lead with just 10 minutes left.

The final nail in the coffin came from Ryan Holmes as he crossed out wide. Baker added the kick.
