Coventry RFC is thrilled to announce the decision that the RFU have agreed to allow the Club to continue playing in the National One Division League for the forthcoming 2008/9 Season. The decision has come after two weeks when the Coventry Telegraph stepped in to raise the £100,000 bond that the RFU required for the Club to continue to play at National One Level.

Coventry RFC has been overwhelmed by the support shown by fans, supporters and the people of Coventry. The amount raised is a great testament to the loyalty and spirit of all the true Coventry supporters. The commitment shown by supporters, players and staff to keeping Coventry Rugby in Coventry demonstrates the passion each individual feels towards the Club.

Ends.
