Coventry Saracens 5 - 26 Coventrians Mids 5 West (South) KO 3:00

Our all time league record v The Saras is P22 W12 L10.

We had the normal cry offs and ended up with Carl Bonsor on the wing but welcomed back Carl Feldman at centre and fielded a youthful bench of Les Scholes,Woz and Fishy!

We started by dominating but Saracens got reinforcements and ended with a very competitive pack. Brilliant performances by man of match, Neil Walters and Rohan at full back.

1st try by Haydon Clarke started with a 20 metre kick out with great support play ending with Haydon charging over from 5 yards out.

2nd try created by pick and drive from a line out 10 metres out with Steve Vallis flopping over

3rd try with miss pass in mid field and Ro hit the line at pace with normal run in from 30 metres-brilliant run.

19-5 at half time

Saracens kept the ball in the forwards in the 2nd half but we held them out 3 or 4 times on our try line with great committed defence and then finally got a penalty 10 metres from their line. The ball was popped to Neil Walters who crashed over with 4 Saracens lads on his back. (isn't that illegal?)

A lot of penalties but great spirit and finally a bonus point win

As I am currently losing the battle of crumbling knee my thanks to Springy for providing these match details.
