Rugby registered a second victory in three days after putting in another high energy performance against a team challenging in the upper echelons of the table.

David Kolodynski struck Tuesday evening’s only goal in their 1-0 victory over Leek Town, with the interval approaching, ahead of a battling second half display which saw Valley nullify the threat of the seventh placed visitors.
