After Rugby's goal-less draw against Mangotsfield at Cossham Street on Saturday, manager Billy Jeffrey was pleased to see his side continuing to pick up points on the road.

	Billy's young team are unbeaten in six league games away from home, keeping four clean sheets in the process

Billy is happy with his players' work rates, especially in tough conditions on Saturday:

"It was another battling effort from the lads away from home.

"We are working hard for each other at the moment, and we more than held our own against physically strong and much more experienced opposition."

Rugby started both halves well against the Mangoes and David Stone had a couple of chances to score but couldn't find his scoring boots on the day:

"It would have been nice to have got the victory though, and we had a dominant spell at the beginning of the second half when we could have killed the game off.

"Perhaps we are missing that extra something at the moment, but it's difficult to be too critical as we continue to pick up points and climb the table."

Rugby have now lost just once from their last eleven league games and have not lost away in the BGB Premier since the defeat to Hemel in August.

But Billy knows that his side will have to continue to work hard as the winter arrives and conditions change:

"It wasn't the greatest game of football ever seen, but the pitch certainly didn't help on that front. I suppose ground surfaces start to change around this time of year, so it is something we will have to get used to."
