BROOK moved back into the top four of the Premier Division as they overcame an early Rylands lead.

John Welsh gave the visitors a lead after five minutes before tries from Mark Gibson and Steve Woods set Brook on the course for victory.

Gibson made the break for the first try and interpassed with Steve Woods before scoring in the corner and added the conversion.

Steve Woods followed it up with a fine try in the same corner with Gibson again goaling. Gibson extended Brook's lead with a penalty before Darren Woods went in for the third try with Gibson adding another conversion.

Brook's fourth try came directly from the restart. Superb handling and support play led to Mark Leonard scoring the best try of the match to give Brook a 24-4 interval lead.

The second period opened with ex-Warrington flyer Mark Forster intercepting, however a great chase and tackle from Steve Woods prevented a Rylands come back.

Midway through the half loose forward Paul Flannery did cross for the visitors with Pete Leonard converting.

Brook put the game beyond any doubt when a break from Gibson was finished off by Phil Anderton.

Anderton was subjected to a late tackle allowing Gibson two shots at goal to complete the scoring.

Second row man Darren Woods was man of the match.
