Manor Park 48 - 3 Coventrians Warks Shield KO 2:oo

Our record against Manor Park in all competions is played a lot and not won many ....

On this weekend 24 years ago (Sun Nov 6th 1986) Covents took on Kenilworth at home in the Warks. Cup and were just beaten, in a close game, 6-15. This was the last cup game ever played at Kirby Corner Rd - actually this is nonsense as the last cup game ever played at Kirby Corner Rd was a year later (Nov 1987) when we lost even more narrowly 6-12 to Broadstreet after beating Earlsdon away in the previous round.

Sorry for the satellite delay - we lost valliantly 48-3 with Jason Ryan sending over a solitary penalty and only 3 first teamers available in the pack. Great spirit especially from Rohan who tackled like a man possessed and Scrappy but everyone tried their hearts out including a full 80 minutes from Fishy.
