SEDGLEY PARK 29 BEDFORD 45: Tigers let a substantial first-half advantage slip out of their hands as they went from 26 - 10 in front to lose by an equally heavy score on Saturday. Bedford

Tries by De Jager, Feeley, and Albinson helped put them in command but the second-half onslaught by second placed Bedford put Tigers on the ropes.

With a trip to second from the bottom Pertemps Bees next on the agenda, basement club Tigers need to make a big improvement.
