Three second-half tries saw Rochdale Hornets take a 26-14 victory over the Sheffield Eagles and consolidate their second place in the Northern Ford Premiership table.
The Hornets trailed 14-8 at half-time but came back with Warren Ayres and substitute Matthew Long dominating the action.
The Eagles had made a strong start, exploiting weaknesses in the Rochdale defence for first John Breakingbury and then Mick Docherty to score their first tries for the club.
Gavin Brown kicked both goals and added a penalty.
Rochdale were kept in touch by a try from centre Matt Calland with a goal and a penalty from Danny Wood - but the second half was dominated by the Hornets, who scored three tries in 12 minutes.
Ayres began the fightback on 44 minutes and was followed by scores from James Bunyan and Long.
Wood converted two of the tries and added a late penalty to seal the points.
