Rugby Town won a narrow pre-season friendly at Lutterworth Athletic last night.

Valley manager Dave Stringer squeezed another game into his pre-season schedule against the UCL Division One side before the season starts in just over a week's time at Coventry United in the FA Cup.

With strikers Ruben Wiggins-Thomas and David Kolodynski unavailable, Valley's attacking options were limited but they secured the victory without the hosts seldom troubling Niall Cooper in the Rugby goal.

The only goal was a result of a superb left wing delivery from full back Craig Kelly which was finished off at the far post by Liam Holt for his second goal of pre-season.

Rugby now have one more friendly against a Nuneaton Town side on Monday evening at Butlin Road.

Valley Starting Line-Up: Cooper; K Rowley, Kelly, Harris, M Rowley; Holloway, Ashby, Holt; Brathwaite, Dance, Birch.
