In a stunning display of athleticism, Rugeley made a triumphant start to the new year with a dominant victory over Ludlow in yesterday's rugby match.

The game began with a bang as Rugeley's talented flanker and coach, Matt Williscroft, scored the first try at the 10-minute mark, with a successful conversion. Rugeley's momentum only continued to build, with Jordan Wood scoring their second try at the 40-minute mark, again with a successful conversion. Ludlow fought back with determination, but Rugeley's defense remained solid. Just before halftime, Rugeley's hooker, Kev Birt, scored a try following a powerful run that demonstrated his impressive speed and strength. In the second half, Rugeley continued their impressive performance, with scrum half Connor Brighton scoring a try at the 60-minute mark to secure the bonus point. Ashley Clarke made a strong impact on the field as a replacement for Mitch Wood, who had to be taken out of the game early. Adam Slater, in only his second appearance of the season, also contributed to the team's success. Sam Spink, who had just returned the previous day from a holiday in New York, started at Tight Head Prop and contributed to the team's success as well. Connor Brighton set up Ashley's final try with a well-placed kick from a penalty just before full time at the 80-minute mark. Despite Ludlow's valiant efforts, they were unable to get on the scoreboard, and the final score was a decisive 33-0 victory for Rugeley. Rugeley's Connor Brighton was named man of the match for his strong performance on the field. It was a commanding performance by the team, and they will be looking to carry this momentum into their next match against Aston Old Edwardians.
