RUGBY Borough secured a third-place finish in the league and a home semi-final in the play-offs with a final day 4-0 victory against Coventry United.

A brace from Lewis Wilson and further goals from substitutes Matt Dawson and Brady Middleton at Kilsby Lane sent Borough into the play-offs on a high.

Rugby will now play March Town United in the United Counties League Premier Division South play-off semi-finals.

Wilson netted a brace before half time to put Borough in command.

And substitutes Dawson and Middleton came off the bench to seal a comfortable victory and deny Coventry a place in the play-offs in the process.

The victory earned Rugby a home semi-final after play-off opponents March Town also won their final game of the campaign.




Borough won 1-0 away at March in October and drew 1-1 in the reverse fixture later in the season.

The other play-off semi-final pits Aylestone Park against Eynesbury Rovers.


Rugby host March on Sunday, April 27 with kick-off at 3pm at Kilsby Lane.
