The Falcons claimed the league title with their 15th straight win.

Following on from last week’s important win against Wooldale, Rugby were strong favourites going in to this game.

They came out of the blocks all cylinders firing, with early strikes from Arran Hinds and Sonny Lynch. Further goals from Bertie McLaren, Alex Redpath-Potter and Matthew Simpson, and four more from Hinds made it a very comfortable 9-0 half time scoreline.

Hinds brought his tally to six, before substitutes Tom Cooke-Neill and Shaun Stuart continued the scoring spree. Redpath-Potter got his second, before Hackleton rallied to claim a consolation goal. Normal service resumed with Dan Coleman and Pearse MacLeod completing the rout. A fantastic achievement lads – reward for all the effort and good football you have played this season.

Squad: Scales, Briggs , Macleod, Cunningham, Ellis(MOM), Simpson, Kill(c), McLaren, Lynch, Hinds, Redpath-Potter, Cooke-Neill, Coleman, Stuart, Burbury, MacDonald

The Falcons were always favourites in this top against bottom clash.

Early pressure from the home side forced corner after corner, with Dillon Cunningham finishing coolly for the opener. Jonathan Kill made it 2-0 after good work by Sonny Lynch. Straight from the restrart, a lapse in defence allowed Drayton to reduce the deficit. Arran Hinds then took control up front, scoring a hat-trick to make it 5-1 at half time. Following the interval, the Town midfield dominated, with Shaun Stuart (MOM) providing danger with surging runs down the right, linking well with Matthew Simpson. Further goals from Arran Hinds(2), Nic Onyett(2), Tom Cooke-Neill(2) and a superb volley from Kill made this a comfortable victory. Well done lads – everyone played their part to maintain pole position!

Squad: Onyett, Briggs , Macleod, Cunningham, Stuart, Simpson, Kill(c), Fitzmaurice, Lynch, Hinds, Redpath-Potter, Cooke-Neill, Fitzmaurice, Scales, Burbury

Unbeaten since September, Daventry were always going to be tough opposition.

The first half was a close encounter, but, Rugby could not convert early chances and Daventry score from a corner to go into the interval ahead. A lapse in concentration in defence saw Daventry go 2-0 up midway through the second half. The introduction of substitutes revitalised the Falcons, with Dan Coleman scoring with a great flick over the keeper from close range to reduce the deficit. The midfield of Matthew Simpson, Jon Kill, Alex Redpath-Potter and in particular Bertie McLaren(MOM), started to dominate. With the reintroduction of Arran Hinds, the Falcons drew level. Then, into the final minutes, Simpson put in a low cross for Coleman to seal the 3 points. Fantastic commitment from all – 7 wins from 7!

Squad : Scales, Briggs , Burbury, Macleod, Cunningham, Simpson, Kill(c), McLaren , Lynch, Hinds, Redpath-Potter, Ellis, Cooke-Neill, Fitzmaurice, Coleman
