at the butts arena, for championship 2nd tier rugby union action. coventry, 3rd, vs hart bury  university, 5th. 

ealing trail finders, are blazing a trail at the top of the league, but there is no promotion to the premier league, due to the turmoil surrounding the now defunked   wasps and Worcester.

cov were  one of the most successful teams during the 70s and early 80s, before being beset by   financial problems, and thus having to leave their spiritual home of camden road, where they resided for many years

they left in 2004, but, evenin their new home, as far back as 2012, trouble was never far away. they  do, however seem to be on more of a secure financial  footing, and finished 8th last term. hartbury were formed in 2012, and are comprised primarily of students from the    university, which seems to be a centre  of sporting excellence, and is located close to gloucester

full time from the butts arena, and a convincing 42 19 win for cov. 

a  fairly even first half saw both teams trade early tries, but cov went into half time leading 3 tries to 2 and 21 14. 

the 2nd half  saw 3 tries to 1 in favour of cov,  with cov scoring 7 converted tries to hartbury's 3. crowd an excellent 2009, with most Saturday games averaging around the 2500 to 3000 mark apparently.
