RUGBY TOWN 4 STOURBRIDGE 0.

Stourbridge fell to their seventh league defeat of the season with a disappointing 4 - 0 defeat away at bottom placed Rugby Town.

The hosts, who had drafted in several new faces in the last fortnight, made much of the early running and they went ahead on nine minutes with a rasping 30-yard shot from Delroy Gordon giving Lewis Solly no chance.

Rugby doubled their lead after 22 minutes as David Kolodynski was left with an easy sidefoot finish following good work by David Stone down the right. He beat two players before crossing low for Kolodynski to score.

The Glassboys first effort came from a ball forward from Nathan Bennett bounced through to Chris Morris who tried to curl a shot beyond Andrew Stevens, however his effort flew wide. Rugby threatened again on 41 minutes when a slip from Craig Slater allowed Scott Musgrove to capitalise, but he screwed his early low shot past the near post. Stourbridge attacker Sam Rock then shot over the bar a minute later when a poor clearance fell to his feet around 20 yards out. Matters got even worse for the Glassboys just before half-time as Kolodynski struck again to make it 3 - 0.

The visitors turned in an improved second-half display.

A minute after the re-start, a left-wing cross from Leon Broadhurst led to Ryan Mahon heading back across goal where Morris got in a header that Stevens punched clear under pressure from Ashley Robinson, with the keeper picking up an injury in the process. Broadhurst the drew a good save from Stevens on 53 minutes before the Rugby keeper was replaced by substitute custodian David Clarke.

At the other end Solly denied Stone in the 62nd minute after he had been slipped through and Stone also hit an angled low shot wide thirteen minutes later. Three minutes from time though Rugby swiftly broke to add a fourth goal. Jason Taylor sent Purton away and having burst through the left channel area, his low shot had enough to beat Solly and Dave Bridgwater, getting back, was unable to prevent the ball crossing the line.
