AFC Rushden & Diamonds are sad to announce that we have this week taken the decision to withdraw our Development Team from the Northants Combination.

The decision has however been taken to ensure that the Club as a whole remains sustainable in the long-term.

In a game of very few chances, Rushden conceded two goals from corners and fell to another defeat. Time to go away, reflect and see what we can do to change our fortunes.

Best of luck to @HeyfordAthletic for the season.

Last in the Trilogy 📅

Diamonds will feel hard done by as they fall to another defeat. Costly mistakes creating and in the final third meant the lads just couldn't break through.

Best of luck to @WoodfordTeam for the season.

We move onto the last of three home games in a row next Saturday.

A disappointing loss to take today as the lads gave such a strong performance. They created plenty of chances but just couldn't find the back of the net. Laurence Thorne with a headed goal on his debut.
