Rugby: Hinckley chalk up more home joy
They kicked off the season with a 15-13 win at home to Chester and, on Saturday, saw off Peterborough 25-20.

Morgan also kicked two penalties while Will Keeling added two conversions.
South Leicester, though,
were well beaten 47-19 by Newport (Salop).
They were taught a lesson in finishing by a rampant Newport side who scored seven tries and converted six.
