Rugeley beat the division's bottom side despite Tom Wilson being sent off.

Coming off the back of their first defeat in four games Rugeley couldnlt have asked for a better time to play bottom of the league Warley at home. However with little left in their season to play for Warley had nothing to lose and set about taking the game to Rugeley with some some big tackles and strong running of the ball. The Rugeley defence though was not to be undone and for all their pressing it wasnlt long before Warley found themselves undone by some great play from Jamie Simmons and Nick Lyons which resulted in Adam Grocott scoring the only try of the first half. The second half through saw Rugeley construct some far better play and it wasn't long before Kevin Birt broke through two tackles to run in Rugeleys 2nd try. The second half saw more great play from Rugeley and with tough tackling from Matthew Williscroft and Kirk Jones any opportunity warley looked like creating was soon broken up. This allowed the rugeley backs to enjoy more of the ball than their opponents and with more great play from Sam Cotter Adrian Yates scored in the corner. Rugeley sealed the victory with a final try from Sam Howard.
