Coventry RFC & Henley College Coventry 59 Cirencester College 9.

  

 

Coventry RFC & Henley College Coventry Development Centre won the British Colleges Midlands League for the 2nd year running after beating Cirencester College 59-9 in fine fashion at Broadstreet RFC on Wednesday.

Cirencester opened their account with a well struck penalty to open the scoring playing with the wind. C&H in a robust mood took play from the kick off with flanker Callum Lines touching down in the corner after a great off load from lock Brendan Maguire. Cirencester again responded with another penalty for offside taking the lead for the second and final time.

A serious injury to a Cirencester player stopped play for up to 15 minutes. On the restart C&H took control with prop Nikesh Patel, flying winger Troi Coleman and 1st team member Michael Ryan recording further trys with Tyler Price converting two in to a strong wind taking the score to 24-6 at half time.

On the restart C&H continued where they left off with trys being scored by Paddy Hughes, Captain and 1st team player Josh McNulty, Jack Barker, Alex Robinson and Michael Ryan finishing of fine attacking plays, Price converting all five.

An excellent performance in tough windy conditions from the entire squad demonstrating great power in their play to record league honours for the second year running.

 

Man of the Match - Lewis Collins

Yet again a great performance. Congratulations to all involved. I hope some of these lads will be in the Cov lineup in the not too distant future. A wise investment by Cov, let's hope it works out for Cov and not for others. Very sorry to hear about the serious injury and hope the bloke concerned is now OK.

Excellent result and great season, so good in fact the opposition in this league excuse defeats by saying the lads are full time. Well they are, full time students studying at A level for a future in rugby or go on to uni.

They are a great credit to both Henley College and Cov rugby club. Unfortunately, we may not get the benefit of this conveyor of players but they must keep this moving forward untill we can

Well done boys..... time for a move up the leagues ?
