Full time, really impressive performance from Kens, defence really strong and took our chances well. Shout out to the backs who coped with a few changes and performed superbly.

The mighty Pirates win 33-31 against a youthful Daventry side. Must do more due diligence on selecting our opposition! However old school wisdom prevailed in the end! 😄😄

So, the Coventry Live rugby awards of the year were announced last night, and its fair to say that we’re very proud of what we achieved...!!!

NEW SIGNING - PLAYER!!✍️💙💛
Phil Boulton will be combining playing duties with his Head Coach role following his departure from

#kenfamily
Thanks to
@bobby_bridge
for the coverage of what has been the most wonderful of seasons so far, and one that we’re not ready to bring to an end just yet...
Very sad to hear that Harry Walker,
@EnglandRugby
’s oldest surviving international and former
@CoventryRugby
legend, has passed away.
RIP, to a man whose name was synonymous with the game throughout Coventry and Warwickshire.
A 33-31 win for Kenilworth against higher league opposition. Great, gutsy display from a young team, with things to work on. On to Tuesday, where we play Newbold away in the Warwickshire Cup!
We can confirm that despite extreme pressure from outside influences, we remain committed to Midlands 1 West for the coming season. Our supporters wishes are at the core of the club & even away trips to Hereford cause grumbling so Milan on a Wednesday is a step too far

There will be a minute's silence ahead of this Saturday's 1XV match at home to Bridgnorth in memory of Tony Snelson. The entire Mini & Junior section will also hold a minute's silence on Sunday morning.
#ripsnelly
Sadly the inevitable has been confirmed - today's 1XV match is off due to a frozen pitch. The Clubhouse will be open with beer, pies & European Rugby on the screens. We'll get the fire going & rant & rave about tackling heights till we are blue in the face, so come and join us!
Congratulations to our Ladies who have reached the quarter finals of the Intermediate Cup with a 23-17 victory over
@wymondhamwasps
- well done!

Relax everyone....it's full time and we keep our winning run! 23-25 to the Mighty Kens, a gritty performance by all accounts and a few key players missing....we will take that!
On Saturday, it's the biggest match in the club's history as we host

! Let's make sure there's a big home crowd on the sidelines to support our boys - it should be a great afternoon of rugby!
#KenFamily
It is with huge sadness that we have learnt of the recent passing of Tony Snelson. Tony was a much loved player and member of the club who will be sadly missed. A gentle giant, he played for the 1XV, 2XV and of course the Pirates. Our thoughts are with Tony's family and friends.
A massive thanks to England and Saints back row
@tomwood678

Huge pressure from Ken's, pick and go's and big carries from the forwards. Ball is moved wide right and Ed Hannam blasts over in the corner. O'Connors kick is a beauty 30-38 with seconds to go. Stoke win a penalty which they kick to keep a bonus point. A tough win for the Ken's
Congratulations to our talismanic skipper,
@bobbyt258
, on scoring his 100th try for Kenilworth in the recent away win at Kidderminster. Yet another achievement in an amazing couple of seasons for our very own Captain Fantastic!

Mistake at the back and that should do it for Kens ... scored by Ben Harrison we think 😬👊 conversion is good 11 - 25 FT ... a great away win, that was a proper grind in the wet. Time for a beer 🍻🏉
