CAM Collins scored a late leveller as Rugby Borough drew 1-1 with AFC Rushden and Diamonds in the club’s first home game of the season.

Collins struck seven minutes from time at Kilsby Lane after Tejan Thomas headed Rushden into the lead before the break.

The result means Borough sit sixth in the Northern Premier League Midlands table.

Rushden broke the deadlock on 28 minutes when Thomas rose highest to head in Bruno Andrade’s free-kick from the left.

However, Borough equalised on 83 minutes when Collins finished from close range after good work down the right.

Rugby are next in action against Loughborough Students on Saturday, August 16 with kick-off at 3pm at Kilsby Lane.
