TYLDESLEY RU are expecting a record number of entries as they again host the Matthew Brown Brewery Touch Rugby Sevens.

Entry forms are now available from the club. Call either 01942-882967 or 0410-083984.

The tournament kicks off on May 10 (6.45pm).

Meanwhile, the club's Jekyll & Hyde season continued with a 31-24 defeat by an average Ormskirk side.

As usual, they began well with tries for Swanton and Dave Peet plus a Dave Sivill conversion. Then they eased off.

The second half began well with Berrisford crashing in for a TD, Peet grabbed a second, Sivill hit a goal. But Ormskirk hit back to stay in touch and an handling error help the home side snatch a late try.

Tyldesley's last game of the season is at Well Street on Saturday (3pm) against Ambleside.
