RUGBY TOWN: It's the big Boxing Day top-of-the-table derby with Daventry
The much anticipated local derby between Rugby Town and Daventry is on Boxing Day (Wednesday) afternoon at Butlin Road, when Carl Adams’s Valley side will be looking to reduce the gap between the two sides currently at the top of the UCL Premier Division table.
Rugby’s 2-1 win at Newport Pagnell last weekend coupled with Daventry’s inactivity due to a waterlogged Communications Park pitch cut the deficit to nine points - with the Northamptonshire club having played two games more than Town.
