Saturday 12th March 2008
Warwickians RFC 8 - 50 Coventrians RFC

The first team romped to a glorious 50-8 win today (their 7th consecutively in the league) away at Warwickian. Skipper Keiran Martin lead by example by dotting down after 7mins. Further tries followed from Chris Simons 18 mins (Dougie con) 12-0; Kev Walters (returned from sin bin) 26 mins 17-0; Stuart Barr 31 mins (Dougie con) 24-0. This was a superb try that went from one side of the pitch to the other through 8 or 9 player's hands! It said a lot about how Covents have played their rugby this season. Carl Thornton 38 mins (Dougie con) for a half time score of 31-0. In the second half, Warwickian came back with a penalty and a try but further Covents scores, 54 mins Stuart Barr (Dougie Con) 38-8; 67 mins Rowan Aitken 43-8; 70 mins Kev Walters (Dougie Con) sealed a great win 50 - 8.

The second team lost again to Dunlop (2 leagues higher) 12-18 with tries from evergreen birthday boy Dean Goodwin (21 today) & Dave Bailey with a Ben Davies conversion. Young Joe Swaffield spent 10 in the bin. Another good day to reflect on as we wait to see if we've finished 2nd and won a play off spot.
