RYMAN ONE NORTH: TILBURY gave a good account of themselves away to the title contenders Needham Market, but had to settle for this narrow 2-1 defeat.

The hosts were 2-0 up at half-time thanks to Nathan Stone’s brace, but substitute Michael Toner hit a goal of the season contender to give Dockers hope on 61 minutes.

And Tilbury’s Jack West also had a goal disallowed late on as they mounted a spirited, but ultimately fruitless second-half comeback.
