MATCH REPORT

Sports lose to league leaders Rugby Town FC.

Disappointing run continues as Sports head towards relegation battle

Sports hosted top of the table Rugby Town who were looking for their 14th win in a row. In the same fixture last year Sports ran out convincing winners but it wasn’t to be this year.

Sports lost both Barton and Sherpa Moore to injury early on which disrupted any early momentum. Dan Watkin got caught in midfield and the ball forward released Rugbys top scorer to finish at the near post.

In the second half Joe White came out to close down a shot but was adjudged to have caught the striker with his follow through. The penalty was converted by the Rugby captain. Moments later they were awarded the second after Jake Humphreys was judged to have pulled back a Rugby player. This time Joe saved the penalty.

Rugby soon added a third which seemed to come from a clear offside. The striker finished neatly in the box.

A disappointing afternoon for Sports who were frustrated by both injuries and the officials but cant take away anything from a ruthless Rugby Town.
