With this being the last game of the season for the Eagles they had nothing to lose on a bright Sunday morning away at Lutterworth.

Rugby started confidently and tied together some neat passing for some early scoring chances, whilst Kieran Dignan-Smith was having an excellent half in goal making great saves to keep Lutterworth at bay. With the Eagles applying more pressure substitute Bradley Osborne-Wells came onto a lovely low passed ball and scored with his left foot to put Rugby up one nil at half time.Another thanks to Parcels to Ireland for this seasons beautiful kit.

The second half saw more of the same attacking football from the Eagles and making Lutterworth take long shots(one that hit the crossbar) and defending deep in their own half. With Rugbys midfield of Ben Smith, Michael Lunn, Rory Harding, Oliver Rogerson, Dougie Lyttle and Jordan Loydall all tackling well and making great passes to gain Rugby lots of corners and throw ins, from this Ben Smith had a great low shot saved, Jordan Loydall netted well straight from a corner and Dougie Lyttle cheekily lifted the ball over the defence and into the net to put the Eagles three nil up and still in line to top the league at the close of the season. Rugby limited Lutterworth few clear chances thanks to some excellent defending thanks to the two rocks at the back Jack Cave and Jack Ellis-Jones. The coaches would like to say a big thankyou to the children for a great season of football showing for a second year that they are a great side, and thankyou to the parents for all of their support. Todays 'Players of the day' awards went to Ben Smith for some great shots and hard work and Jack Ellis-Jones for some great defending.

The Eagles travelled away to Kingsway Celtic in torrential rain on sunday with vital points available.

Rugby started at a good pace and were one nil up from Oliver Rogerson within the first minute and Michael Lunn netting Rugbys second moments after the restart. With the rain pouring down and the pitch getting sticky the Eagles battled on in the midfield and starting creating some great shooting chances.

Jack Onyett grabbed Rugbys third with a nice low shot giving the keeper no chance, Then up popped Rory Harding from no where and slotted home the fourth. Late on in the half Jordan Loydall shot from distance and put the ball into the roof of the net to make it five nil. Soon after with some great football from Dougie lyttle, Bradley Osborne-Wells and Jack Ellis-Jones saw Rugby pile on more pressure and score a sixth goal from Jordan. Thanks to Parcels to Ireland for a stunning kit.

The second half was hard going for the boys with the non stop rain, biting cold and tired legs but showed spirit by trying to put on the pressure. With this passing and shooting became very hard and showed with Rugby finding it hard to score. Ben Smith coming out of goal wet and cold played well on the left and put through some nice passes. Rugby managed to get two more goals from Jack Onyett and Jordan Loydall making it eight nil to the eagles. Todays Player of the day award went to Dougie Lyttle for some great defending in the first half and brilliant passing and movement in the second, Well done.

Another display of why the Eagles are a top of the league side, well done lads.

With precious end of season points available Rugby had to show good team work to overcome Harboro' to stay within chance of topping the league.

With a slow start on a rain soaked pitch Rugby and Harboro' battled it out in midfield, with the Eagles working hard to keep the ball out of their own half. After good attacking pressure from Dougie Lyttle, Ben Smith, Rory Harding, Jordan Loydall and Michael Lunn in midfield Rugby went one ahead when Bradley Osborne-Wells attacked a rebounded ball and slotted passed the keeper.

Thanks to parcels to Ireland for a great kit, Rugby came out brimming with confidence. With Jack Cave having the game of his season, along with Jack Ellis-Jones and Oliver Rogerson they had little to do in defence and broke forward with the ball playing killer passes up to the attack, Jack Cave making a great run from defence himself and was unlucky not to have scored. Rugby then went on to make it two nil when Jack Onyett ran passed two players and scored in the bottom corner. Rugby could of had several more goals with shots just missing. Harboro' offered little accept for a late own goal to make it three nil to the Eagles.

Another great team performance from the lads that showed there is good strength and deth in the Eagles. Todays 'Player of the Day' was awarded to Bradley Osborne -Wells for covering every part of the pitch and his back heels and overhead kick, Well done. And a massive well done to the whole team.
