Recent signing Sam Lockley came off the bench to score a second-half hat-trick for Rugby Town at Butlin Road on Saturday. Their 6-1 win over South Normanton Athletic, was their biggest margin of victory for three years, when they beat Egham Town 6-0 in the Southern League Division One Central.

David Kolodynski put Valley ahead after seven minutes on Saturday and Josh Ruff made it 2-0 just before the break. Lockley then added the first of his trio, before Kolodynski’s second in the 64th. Lockley scored again a minute later and finished a fine afternoon’s work in the 74th.
