By John Wilkinson COME and join the party!
Saturday, April 28 will be a day of celebrations at Butts Park Arena as champions Coventry Rugby complete their title-winning National League One campaign against Hull Ionians.
The fun will begin at 12.30pm with on-pitch activities for pupils from the schools across the city and Warwickshire that have been a part of the club’s successful Community Programme in this momentous season.
The city’s six-metre high Lady Godiva will be paying us a visit, and there will be ongoing activities in the Family Fun Zone for the children (bouncy castles, obstacle courses, etc) with refreshments and bars available for everyone through the day, and music.
The occasion will also mark a handover of the City Of Culture mantle from Hull (2017) to Coventry (2021) with the Lord Mayors of both cities in attendance.
And then, of course, after the game (kick-off 3pm) has finished there will be the presentation of the National League One champions’ trophy to Coventry Rugby and a chance to applaud the efforts of all the players, coaches and back-up staff across a fantastic season.
The attendance record for National League One stands at 3,648 (Jersey v Rosslyn Park, 2012)…..wouldn’t it be great if you could help us beat that figure and put the name of Coventry Rugby truly up in lights.
Wear your colours and let’s turn Cov Blue & White!
