Coventrians 5 - 38 Coventry Technical Mids 5 West (S E)
Bad Day at Black Pad for Blue Boys
As the curtain fell on 2009/10 (with a whimper, not a bang) and the fat lady sang, we could have done with her as 10 regulars were missing through injury and other reasons (postcard please) and playing the whole of the first half with 14 allowed Tech to take full advantage and lead by 26-0 at half time. No strangers to tough days and hard times themselves, the boys in green cashed in as Covents looked rudderless in the hot sunshine. A minute before half-time, Rohan turned up and came on but no sooner were we up to 15 then Jon Smith, teenage tackling sensation had to go off with an injured shoulder so back to 14 - it was that sort of day.
The second half was a much more spirited display and frequently, Covents' attack and drive play would leave Tech players down in clumps needing treatment much to the frustration of Coach Boppa (wish his surname was Carter) who, stressed to the max and frustrated with the lack of numbers, prowled the touchline being, errrr, well grumpy as f * * *!
The highlight of the match for Covents was an audacious try from scrum-half Tom Gough who taking a quick tap penalty about 3 yards from his own try line, weaved through the static green fatties and was away. Almost scragged, he wriggled free and resisting the temptation to pass to Rohan, sprinted in to dot down under the posts for 5-26. With fly-half Ben Davies struggling with a hamstring, up stepped prop Haydon Clarke to miss the conversion. I know what you're asking at home and to be honest, I haven't a clue, so don't!
Another moment that raised our hopes was when Haydon picked up loose ball on our line and charged forward up the touch like a wounded rhino, eventually laying off to Rohan who sprinted, chip kicked and sprinted again. He raced, shadowed by green, over the line and managed to tap down with one hand but try not awarded. On reflection it most probably wasn't but at the time, I would have given it, standing as I was on the halfway line with dodgy eyes and a bag over my head. The referee (wee Robbie fa the Highlands) wouldn't even consider our third match official's opinion (John Kenny) or a free pint if the try was awarded - I mean come on, he's a Scotsman for God's sake!
So the boys in blue kept going with renewed optimism but could not break the green defence again in a game that became scrappy and in the last 15 or so, Tech breached our line twice more to make the second half score, 5-12 and it could have been more if they'd had a kicker. Sensibly forgoing the lengthy injury time, wee Robbie blew after 41 minutes and we were, soundly beaten by a joyous Tech side who didn't rub it in too much (thanks boys).
There were some positive things from the Blue and Whites; Haydon, DJ, Giz and the rest of the pack, some bullocking trademark runs from Lawrence, Joff tackling round the ankles (reminiscent of a young, fearless Jeff Platt) Tom Gough's energy and two or three solo darts from Captain Cozzy with little legs going full tilt but all in all, pitching up on a league Saturday with 14 men to play anyone (let alone Cov Tech) is a crock of sh*t and well we know it. Yes there are a lot of injuries to key players and yes, massive respect to the 16 who fronted up yesterday (Sam Holtham included who came on in the second half) but to go from 40 plus bodies in the new year to a thin, blue bedraggled line is clearly not good enough and hopefully souls will be searched and Springy will return from Gary Glitter's holiday home whenever the Icelandic dust settles . . .
So as the sun went down, and the sun downers went down with it, we were left to reflect on a funny old season - a season in which we played champions Trinity Guild first game up and found ourselves 31-0 down at half time and only losing by 10 points while they were flagging, beating 2nd placed Atherstone at home and losing to them away in the 89th minute 23-25 to a penalty and going on a 6 match winning run and retaining the Flick Memorial by beating the Wheats 43-8. On the flip side of that coin, we lost by one point at Copsewood and sustained two heavy defeats, this week and last to finish 3rd in the league. It was the usual Covents story of flattering to deceive, on our day, when the players we know we've got are available, we're a match for anyone but unfortunately as is sometimes the case, we can go from world beaters to carpet beaters in the blink of an eye.
Thanks to everyone who contributed this season; players, coaches, committe, bar and grub staff, drinkers, supporters and flag collectors, it's not all doom & gloom, we've got the Club Dinner to look forward to and Sean in his Speedos!
Coventrians RFC, you know it makes sense.
Trinity Guild 68 - 0 Coventrians Mids 5 West SE
Covents Put in Tough Shift as Guild Cruise to Title
Coventrians had to dig deep today at Trinity Guild's sun drenched Baginton ground as missing 9 regulars (wedding, Wembley, Stag do and injury) they were forced to play league leaders Guild with a scratch side including Andy Kearns, (first game in 5 years) young Jon Smith and the Silver Fox Deano among others. Trailing 34-0 at half time, the news did not get any better as Dougie had to leave, Kev Walters went to hospital and Wozza did his back again. Immediately after the restart, Steve Vallis popped a rib and we went down to 13 and the scrums to passive. Just when it couldn't get any worse, we went down to 12 as Carl was yellowed for using his head in all the wrong places . . .
In between the Guild tries though, Covents fronted up like lions with a display of courage, heart, determination and fire - tackling like tigers and making the home side earn their flourish - time and time again the blue and white boys gathered under the posts, wiped sweaty brows, rolled up blood soaked sleeves and came again and again. There were 13 then 12 heroes out there but a special mention to Rohan and Jon Smith (Joff) for their tireless tackling and Cozzy and Tom Gough for driving the pack forward. To be honest, I was proud of those boys today and could not fault their effort - even Danny bless him, full of Budweiser and with a dislocated shoulder appeared on the touch line stripped and ready for action only to be persuaded by Coach Boppa to stop having a laugh!
Eventually, with our boys almost out on their feet, the ref blew 10 minutes early so the victors could enjoy their spoils and Covents lick their wounds while holding their heads high. Congratulations to Trinity Guild on their title winning season and with a final fixture against old friends Cov Tech to come, well done to the Covents boys for finishing third.
Coventrians 43 - 7 Old Wheats Mids 5 West S E
Current Covents Do Clayton Proud
Coventrians retained the Clayton Flick Memorial Trophy and completed a 6th consecutive league win after a convincing display of forward power and finishing from Rohan at HQ on Saturday. Our thanks to the Wheats lads for allowing Terry Mosey to referee and to Terry for a solid performance only blotting his copybook by blowing up with 4 minutes to go as his whole body was hurting.
Covents signalled their intent in the 3rd minute after forward strength set up fly-half Dougie who missing out Lawrence, passed to Rohan who proved his usual irresistable self by weaving past 3 defenders to dot down under the posts - Jason Ryan converted for 7-0. The pack were switched on and having their way early doors with a turn over and veteran street fighter Giz pinching all sorts of ball he had no right to in the lineouts. Having said that, in the 11th minute, the top heavy Stevie Wonder Vallis ruined a promising move by knocking on and yes, before you say it, he would not have dropped it if it had been wrapped in newspaper and smelling of salt & vinegar . . .
In the 13th minute, scrum-half Tom Gough (who seems to specialize in tries from impossible positions) lived up to his reputation by dotting down right in the corner when it looked to all the world that he would be bundled into touch. 12-0. The kick was good from Jason but just drifted wide. It was at this point that our Rt Hon President, Spooky Springate was heard to say, rather modestly, I have been coaching the backs and they are getting better and better
In the 27th minute Danny Pearson discolated his shoulder and this signalled Monkey coming out of retirement when she realised it was her monkey yelping and gasping like a girl and also brought Woz into the fray at hooker. From a 30th minute scrum, Covents turned over and after a powerful drive, scored a pushover try. As the fat boys peeled themselves off, one by one, everyone was stunned to see Rohan at the bottom of the heap enjoying a fat bifta and clutching the pill - sterling undercover work by the main man then and Jason added the extras with a beauty from the touchline for 19-0. In the 33rd minute, a torpedo from Dougie put us in the same corner via a Wheats hand and from the resulting lineout Captain Cozzie went over but this time Jase the Ace hit an upright from in front meaning we went in at half-time, 24-0.
So all rosy and awaiting a cricket score then? Not so, Wheats made a substitution and came back with renewed vim and vigour. For the next 10 minutes they put us under pressure running some great lines and playing some rugby that was easy on the eye. If it hadn't been for sloppiness from hand and some solid blue & white defence they could have easily had 2 or 3 scores. As it happened, Rohan Aitken collected a loose pass on halfway and scorched in towards the clubhouse, leaving a vapour trail on 51 minutes for his hat trick and as Jason slotted for 31-0 we breathed a sigh of relief.
This galvanised our boys and D J Sexton picked and drove powerfully up the left touch, taking 2 or 3 with him and 3 minutes later, in the opposite corner, Covents scored another pushover try and although Vallis has offered me a pint for giving it to him, it was Captain Cozzy who applied the all important downward pressure for 36-0. In the 64th minute Wheats finally got on the board when their No 9 felt the need to beat Dougie twice before dotting down. Is there any value in showboating when 36 points behind . . . ? You know the drill, get your postcards out. So 36-7 but Covents were not finished yet and illustrated their strength and stamina (now fortified by Wayne only 3 brandies) by pushing Wheats 20 or 25 yards back. Then Lawrence, the flying warthog of a centre, went on a trademark bullocking surge through 2 defenders before putting Tam alright arr kid bostin ma mate Carter in for a score converted by Jason for 43-7. There was still time for Deej to drive powerfully again, helped by Lenny and Wozza and then Wheats to return the compliment by shoving our boys 15 yards before Terry Moseys legs and lungs gave out on 76 minutes.
So as the sun set on paradise and a lot of contented Covents gathered in the gloaming (with a very gracious Wheats contingent) it was left to Terry Mosey to make a lovely speech in which he remembered Clayton and Claire and reminded everyone what this fixture is all about. Then the trophy was presented to Cozzy looking resplendant all in errrrr, brown and we returned to what we do best, bending the elbow, gilding the lily and extracting the urine from each other. Is there a better place to be than the club you love after a good win? I don't think so.
Spartans 3rds v Covents 2nds Warks 3 KO 3:00pm
Coventrians 21 - 0 Warley
Covents were 14-0 up at half time after two tries from Rohan, one a sweeping move through the backs including Lawrence and Simon. D J added a third try after being set by super sub Terry Mosey at the base. 3 conversions from full back Jason. On the negative side, Simon (broken collarbone) and Scrappy (busted thumb) out for the season.
Covents 2nds lost 0-51 to a good Shipston side even though Scholesy made 5 tackles (is that in Saturdays game or his career? Answers on a postcard please)
Saturday 13th March 2010
Coventrians v Warwickian Mids 5 West S E Warwickian had no front row so the game was called a home win due to them crying off.
Covents 2nds travelled to Bedrock and won 24 - 23 after being 20 - 0 down at half time.
Harbury 2nds 21 - 26 Covents 2nds
Saturdays Warks 3 game was a tale of two halves - trailing 21-0 at half time after playing with 12 men the arrival of some reinforcements witnessed a momentous turnaround resulting in a 21-26 win.
It started rapidly with two tries in 6 minutes then finished with a bang. Scorers were Tom Carter (move of the match in which Alan actually passed the ball), a great (lucky) kick to the far left corner from Neb put Kevin Walters in after a 60m chase, between that and Scrappys quick penalty score. Mr Feldman put in two crunching hits and in the last 5 minutes, full back Alan Bedford sent the opposition No8 gambowling backwards, squealing like a pig to the slaughter; then at the last play D J the steamroller took a short pop from Carter and crossed over with 5 of the Harbury pack on his back.

COVENTRIANS RFC 2008/9
A new season is about to begin with 3 trial games booked in August, with Coventrians hosting Dunlop, Earlsdon and Old Wheats as from 16 th August. Hopefully we will have a full squad attending those games, so that we will be battle hardened by the time we entertain Evesham for our first league game at the higher standard in early September.
Once more we are indebted for the continuing sponsorship by Coventry Aquatics for the forthcoming season with new kit and leisurewear being available as from Sept.
Mitch and the coaching team have been busy in the close season preparing for the law changes and a greater emphasis on teamwork and fitness. Please ensure you support him by attending at least 1 of the 3 weekly training sessions.
The 2 nd XV are now also in a highly competitive league of 12, with the likes of Broadstreet, Kenilworth and Leamington 3 rd XVs, so we will need to be highly motivated against quality opposition.
Mitch has also set up links with local schools so that we can develop a junior section, initially U12 and U13s with Tom Carter taking on the role of head coach for this section. Tom will need all the help possible in making this venture a resounding success, so he will be looking for volunteers to help in administration and coaching. If anybody can be of help please speak to the sports committee.
We also need to sell advertising boards around the 1 st XV pitch. If you know of any Company that may be interested, speak to Steve Springate.
Finally congratulations to John and Jane, who now have 5 teams competing in the local junior leagues as Coventrians FC, for the forthcoming season on Sundays.
May I wish all teams at the Black Pad a hugely successful season.
Steve Springate
