Coventrians 22 - 7 Coventry Saracens Mids 5 West South

Our league record v Saras is now P24 W14 L10 - today was Coventrians' 5th consecutive league win - for photos, click here

5 In a Row for Boys in Blue

So another convincing win for Covents against a stronger Saras side of late. Tries from Paul Brindley, Tom Gough and powerhouse back rower Neil Walters (his 6th league try this season) sealed the deal with 2 conversions and a penalty from the velvet slipper of flying warthog Lawrence Gooner Goddard (taking his league points tally to 65 for the season). It was 22-0 at half time but a combination of spirited play by Saras and coach Bopper taking the field for a 20 minute blow meant we didn't add to our first half tally.

On a negative note, we're sorry to hear that veteran second row Giz Gisbourne was taken to hospital by ambulance after a serious knee injury. All the best from everyone at the club mate, good luck and speedy recovery - I'll send my crutches on.

Another veteran in the wars this week was the beast himself Wozza who broke a thumb playing for the seconds at Barkers Butts in a 70-0 reverse. Good luck with that mate!
