Congratulations go to Coventry D for winning Division 2.

They are level on points but win on game difference from University C and Rugby B.

For most of the season University have been top of the table and looked to be running away with the title. So well done to the D team players for securing the title at this late stage.

The team was made up of the following players:-

Pete "Terry Butcher" Smith all though his team call him "Captain Fantastic" to his face and other things behind his back!

Stan "The Killer" Whitmore

Clive "Billy the Kid" Blackburn

Wesley "Big Boy" Beeston

and some guest appearances by Ben "The Super Sub"Graff

Good Luck in the First Division next season !

Nuneaton Venue

To All Members

We have received a message from Colin Green to say that last week a University player brought in a drink to the venue. This drink was spotted by a member of staff and raised with Colin.

Nuneaton have asked us to remind all players that drinks are not allowed to be brought into the venue.

Could all Coventry players please note the above because as a club we have had similar problems in the past with venues regarding food and drink. I would also like to remind everyone that the same rules apply at the Massey Ferguson Club and if any member sees an away player with food or drink not from the venue, please inform your team captain immediately.

Thank you
