The English language is littered with proverbs, some more obvious in meaning than others. I remember as a child having to complete lists of them in tabular form, page after page of […]

Running on reserves…
Whilst Coventry were losing to Richmond on Saturday, in National Two (North) near neighbours Broadstreet were entertaining Macclesfield at home. The game ended 37-53 and means ‘Street have now lost all their […]
Ups and downs
A big week for Coventry this. Two consecutive defeats and things suddenly look very different. After two thumping wins against Wharfedale and Loughborough in the opening leagues games of the season we […]
Four wheels on my wagon…but only just
I don’t know how many people will remember the old Bert Bacharach song, ‘Three wheels on my waggon…’ about a group of American settlers who are travelling by wagon and horses across […]
Everything on track…
The team announced yesterday for Saturday’s game against Richmond contains few surprises. Well, to my untrained eyes at least just the one, to be precise. The absence of George Oliver in the […]

One of the benefits of teaching is that over the years you meet so many people with completely different skill sets; mathematicians, linguists, scientists, IT specialists and so on. Many are highly […]

I thought long and hard about posting this, but having read and re-read what I’ve written several times, I don’t think it can be construed in any way as being critical of […]
Suffering from Epistaxis…? Blame Coventry’s great start to the season
Having achieved their first away win of the season against Loughborough on Saturday and on the back of three consecutive wins, Coventry entertain Hartpury College RFC this weekend.
The Price of success offers us Hope for the future…
