Rugby Borough made a terrific start to the season, recording 3 wins out of 3, against Basford (5-3), Grantham (1-0) and Bedworth (2-1), to be the early leaders of the league table, but have taken just 1 point since in their previous 3 games - that was a 1-1 draw at Barwell.

They are still right up amongst the pace-setters, sitting in 6th place with 10 points from 6 games - but having played 6 games, they have played more than all but 7 other sides in he Division, so could drop down significantly once the games-in-hand start to even themselves out.

Overall, their home form in the league is P3 W1 L2 F5 A6, and on Saturday, they lost narrowly to Sutton Coldfield Town 1-0 at home, with the goal scored just after the break.

Last season, Borough finished in 16th position in their first step 4 campaign - accumulating 52 points, with 13 wins, 13 draws and 16 defeats. At home, they returned amongst the fewest home wins - with just 6 from their 21 home fixtures, also drawing a further 6.

Ourselves, having played just 3 league games so far this season - the joint fewest in the league, are desperately searching for our first points - though with 17 of the clubs in the league having played 5 or more games, and many of those having played double the amount of The Blues.

The early league table does see us sitting bottom, having lost 3 out of 3, and the final remaining side having not yet registered a point on the board - This will be something that everyone will be aiming to put right.

PREVIOUS MEETINGS
