Rugby Town gave their all against league leaders Shaw Lane at Butlin Road on Saturday, but their visitors were just too strong in the end. Valley held them in the first half to go in 0-0 at the break. Shaw Lane then went 2-0 up in the second-half, but David Kolodynski kept the game alive when he headed in a cross from Trey Brathwaite for 2-1.

Rugby are still second from bottom of NPL Division One South on 20 points from 33 games. Loughborough Dynamo above them have 22 points also from 33 games, while bottom of the table Northwich Victoria are just one point behind with two games in hand.
