Rugby Town recorded their first league win of the new NPL South campaign, beating Kidsgrove Athletic 1-0 on Saturday.

David Kolodynski’s goal - his 150th for the club - just after the hour was enough to take the points, despite Rugby being reduced to ten men just before half time. Jake Woolley was sent off for a late high tackle.
