PICTURES BY MARTIN PULLEY
A cold, wet, miserable afternoon at Butlin Road was brightened by a Danico Johnson hat-trick which helped Rugby Town to a 4-1 win over Wellingborough Whitworth.
Johnson put Rugby ahead in the seventh minute, but the visitors equalised just before the break. Valley then turned on the style with three goals in the first ten minutes of the second half. Lewis Rankin made it 2-1 before Johnson completed his fourth hat-trick of the season.
