Rugby Borough put five past the Posh
Perfect start to the new season as Borough go nap
Rugby Borough opened their FA Women’s National League campaign in style on Sunday with a comprehensive 5-0 win against newly promoted Peterborough United.
Sporting a new kit sponsored by Energy Angels and supported by a bumper crowd (and a very enthusiastic new mascot) Rugby Borough played some incisive balls into the box following great play down the wings and always looked dangerous from set-pieces and a series of long throws.
They were rewarded with goals before half-time for Mai Moncaster and Malika Apindia to justify going into the break leading 2-0.
The second half proved to be more of the same, with Rugby Borough dominating the game; Moncaster and Apindia completing their braces either side of the interval before Eve Clarkson rounded off proceedings.
A clean sheet and top of the table after the season opener; lots of positives to take and the players will be hoping to maintain this momentum as they head into their first away game on Sunday August at Derby County.
