RACING Club Warwick suffered an agonising derby defeat against Rugby Borough following a five-goal drubbing at Shepshed Dynamo.
The Racers twice let the lead slip against Borough at Townsend Meadow after Aaron Opoku and Kyle Barnett put the home side ahead in the first half.
However, Cam Collins scored an injury-time winner for Rugby after Tendai Daire and Leo Stone twice drew Borough level while the Racers had Jack Edwards sent off with the game all square.
That came after Warwick suffered a heavy 5-0 defeat away at Shepshed Dynamo at the Dovecote Stadium.
The results mean the Racers sit 19th in the Northern Premier League Midlands table.
Warwick broke the deadlock against Rugby after just two minutes when Opoku finished at the second attempt as Ellis Myles’ last-ditch tackle proved in vain.
However, Borough drew level two minutes later as Rich Black’s long ball sent Daire through and the striker coolly finished past Racers goalkeeper Sam Lomax.
The home side reclaimed the lead on the stroke of half time when Barnett finished from close range at the back post after Borough failed to deal with a long ball into the box.
Rugby hit back for a second time on 59 minutes as Stone worked a yard of space for a shot in the box and curled a low effort into the bottom right corner.
And the Racers then had Edwards sent off on 79 minutes for a lunging challenge on Bryan Kohyrelon.
Borough made the most of the man advantage two minutes into injury time as Collins finished Myles’ low ball in from the right from close range to snatch the points.
Racing Club Warwick are next in action against Kidsgrove Athletic in the FA Cup on Saturday, August 30 with kick-off at 3pm at the Fitzjohn Stadium.
