The team travelled to Leamington to play their last league fixture of the season.
The game saw Rugby start uphill and Leamington took advantage of this pushing by pushing the Rugby defence back. However, the defence worked well to limit chances for the opposition. There were several challenges for the Rugby team with several injuries and required changes early on in the game.
Some good Leamington corners were dealt well with by Leah in goal under pressure and one provided a great opportunity for a quick break forward just before halftime, with Harriet slotting home to make it 0-1.
The 2nd half saw more great defensive play to limit Leamington. Good forward work from Chloe pulling wide and providing the ball back to Hannah in the middle to cushion on her right and volley on her left to make it 0-2.
Rugby held up well to further pressure from Leamington on a tough pitch before another break saw Chloe fire home through her laces to make it 0-3.
It could have been 4 but a tap in from Hannah was cleared off the line. After a tough start to the season, this new team has worked hard together and have won 4 of the last 7 games only losing to the top 2 teams.
Well done to all the team for all your hard work through the season.
