RUGBY TOWN: Welcome three points at Market Drayton

Trey Brathwaite scored the second goal at Market Drayton

First win since Boxing Day lifts Town to third from bottom

Rugby Town beat Market Drayton 3-2 on Saturday, but it was closer than they might have liked as the ten-man home team had clawed their way back from 3-0 down in a tense finish.

David Kolodynski put Rugby ahead, followed by an effort from Trey Brathwaite, with Kolodynski adding his second for a comfortable lead at half time.

Struggling to escape NPL Division One South relegation danger, this was Rugby’s first win since Bedworth on Boxing Day, having only added one point against Chasetown since then.
