A spirited Macclesfield suffered another agonising defeat in National Two North as they were beaten by Sedgley Park 24-26.
Tries from Harry Blackwell, Sam Parry and Dafydd Rees did put Macc 17-14 up, with Andy Riley and Matt Riley both crossing for Sedge.
Sam Lowthian gave the visitors the lead shortly after half-time, but Macclesfield responded almost instantly as Sam Stelmaszek dived over.
However, there was to be one final twist as Lowthian scored his second from a pinpoint crossfield kick, Sedge’s fourth try of the afternoon. Ollie Glasse added the extras from wide out to put the Tigers 2 points clear at the final whistle, as Matt Bebbington’s side clinched back to back wins for the first time since September.
