LOUIS Samuels scored the only goal as Rugby Town claimed a third straight pre-season win against Wolverhampton Casuals.
Samuels struck on 21 minutes at Brinsford Lane to secure a 1-0 for Valley who remain perfect in pre-season after three matches.
In extremely hot weather, the game’s decisive moment came midway through the first half when Samuels raced onto a long ball and rounded the goalkeeper before finding the net.
Valley spurned a chance to double their lead when Devonn O’Sullivan headed Rivel Mardenborough’s cross off target.
North West Counties Division One side Wolverhampton improved after the break and caught Valley goalkeeper Logan Cooper in possession.
However, Rugby’s academy shot-stopper recovered to force a Wolverhampton player to shoot wide of the target.
Both teams struck the woodwork in the closing stages, with Jake Wormleighton unlucky not to double the away side’s lead.
