RUGBY Borough completed a historic league double over rivals Rugby Town with an emphatic 4-0 win on the final day of the season.
Borough piled more misery on their already-relegated rivals as a late blitz helped the home side romp to victory at Kilsby Lane.
After Daniele Reka put the home side ahead, Cameron Collins, Tyrell Waite and Gary Stohrer all found the net to earn Borough the bragging rights.
The game marked only the second-ever league meeting between the two clubs after Borough triumphed 1-0 in the reverse fixture at Butlin Road back in November.
With Borough already safe and Valley’s relegation confirmed, the game meant little in terms of the Northern Premier League Midlands table,
Borough ended the season in 16th place, nine points clear of the relegation zone, with Valley confined to the bottom of the table some 15 points from safety.
After Valley’s Caine Elliott saw his early shot saved, Borough broke the deadlock on 28 minutes when Reka finished off Stohrer’s low cross.
The visitors looked to respond as Harrison Nee saw his goalbound effort blocked while Charlie Woods denied Stohrer from point-blank range moments before the break.
Borough eventually doubled their lead on 73 minutes when Collins turned the ball home after Valley failed to clear their lines at a corner.
And the home side all but sealed the points five minutes later as Waite’s shot on the turn beat Woods in the Valley net.
Borough completed the scoring six minutes from time when Stohrer guided an effort into the bottom corner after Collins smashed an effort against the underside of the crossbar.
