David Kolodynski wheels away to celebrate his first of two goals, helping Valley to a first league win of the season.

Rugby Town finally ended their wait for a league win with a comprehensive 4-0 win at Butlin Road against fellow strugglers Stourbridge.

Valley had failed to register a league goal at home before tonight's game but the floodgates finally opened.

Delroy Gordon's spectacular 30-yard effort set the tone for the first half, driving the ball wonderfully into the top corner early on.

Valley added a second when the outstanding David Stone evaded his two markers in the penalty area with a great display of footwork before cutting back to David Kolodynski to tap home.

Kolodynski doubled his tally and extended the lead just before the break when he headed home Steve Purton's expertly executed deep cross.

Rugby closed out the second half which proved to be far more uneventful with Stone sqaundering a chance to get a deserved goal.

Purton finished the scoring when he powerfully ran through and netted despite the best efforts of the goalkeeper and covering defender.

The only worry for Rugby was goalkeeper Andrew Stevens being forced from the field with injury in the second half.
