MILDENHALL promoter Mick Horton said that even he was taken by surprise at the way the Fen Tigers turned around their match with Rye House.

Horton''s men seemed out of contention at six points down, but managed to come away with a 46-44 win.

Horton said: ''I couldn''t see where we would come back, but the boys showed their true grit and determination and pulled it out of the bag.''
