U14s: Rugby Town Boys 2 Exhall Tigers 2: After nearly two months finally a match for the Boys that displayed in the first half the best football of the Year with great quick passing in midfield with Jordan Niner, Shaun Berry and Luis, a solid defence with an outstanding Jack Cannell and a solid Ben Harper,but missing a bucketful of chances with Liam Whittle, Hassan Waly, Shaun Berry, Jordan Niner with shots deflected or nearly missing the post or the crossbar, only to score one with a great shot from just inside the penalty area by Shaun Berry.
During the second half the better match fitness of Exhall Tigers together with the injury to Jack Cannell and the hot day, suddenly changed the game allowing Exhall Tigers to score twice in the first five minutes of the second half. The Boys gave everything that was left in terms of energy and pride and equalised with a shot under the crossbar from Hassan Waly and went near more than once to a diserved victory MOM all the Boys with special mention to Gk Domenico Roggero that made some super saves especially in the second half keeping the Boys in the game.

U14s: Rugby Town Boys 4 – Brinklow Juniors 2
Last game of the season for the Boys that took the game from the word go and before Brinklow ( 3rd in the League ) knew what was happening to them Nathaniel Dicken had already scored twice with a solo in the penalty box concluded with a cross shot and another wonderful piece of football by taking on the defender and a shooting at the bottom corner once in the penalty box. The last Brinklow hopes were shattered by a premiership free kick from Matthew Dixon around the wall and slotted at the bottom right corner. The Boys did not stop and Liam Whittle missed out on a Nathaniel Dicken cross just in front of Brinklow Gk. Brinklow managed to score one just before the first half.
Second half pretty much the same with Nathaniel Dickens hat-trick with a shot under the crossbar and another 2 or 3 chances that were saved on the line by Brinklow that managed a consolation goal 5 minutes to the end.
Thanks to Gk Domenico Roggero,defenders Ryan Higginson, Kieran Dolman, Jack Cannell, Ben Harper, midfielders Kieran McCann, Jordan Niner, Matthew Dixon, Luis, and forward Nathaniel Dickens and Liam Whittle the Boys secured fourth place in the League. Well Done to everybody.

U16s: Mount Nod 1 Rugby Town Juniors 0: Sponsored by Business Direct Last week's 3-1 loss to Weddington put pay to Towns chance of winning the title and this loss against Mount Nod has now put paid to any chance of the runner-up spot, which is very unfortunate for the players on the pitch for this game.
It was a totally commited effort by the ten men who turned up and they thoroughly deserve to be congratulated on their performance.
They played some fantastic football and had late chances in each half where they could have got something from the game which they deserved. Great effort lads.

Racing Blythe 4 Rugby Town Juniors 3: A disappointing slip up this one. Basic errors gifting two goals to Blythe in a game which Town had the lead twice and let it slip. Town scorers were Boris Lange, Punit Parmar and an own goal after Halim had forced the defender into an error.

Rugby Town Juniors 3 Kenilworth Wardens 1: A welcome return to the spirited committed group which barring a couple of performances have done very well this season. The first half was a stalemate consisting of some end to end football with few chances on target. Beard came closest for Rugby when he beat a defender and shot just over the bar having beaten the keeper. The second half was more intensely fought but it was Halim who unlocked the opponents first with a fine solo goal, then latching onto Brough's exquisite through ball to strike from the right. Stand in keeper Matt Izzard gave a good performance making two top class saves but was beaten to set up a tense last 15 minutes. Halim put the game out of Wardens reach and at the same time securing a fine hat trick and the 3 points with a free kick. Defensively Parmar, Kemp, Lange and Riley were strong but again it was a true team effort – well done all.
