Historic first fixture for AFC Rushden & Diamonds

AFC Rushden & Diamonds Under 18 played their historic first ever match against a Raunds Town Reserves side at Kiln Park on Saturday 6th August.

In front of an impressive 350 plus crowd, the AFC R&D under 18 team managed by Mark Starmer, took a while to settle and found themselves 3 -0 down at half time. The second half proved much more even affair as the match finished 3-0 to Raunds. The result seemed immaterial, as it was a fantastic achievement for the newly formed community club take to the field for the first time.
