Coventry Welsh RFC progressed to the next round of the Junior Vase competition with a win at Wellingborough Old Grammarians. Playing their first game since mid December the much postponed fixture was finally played out on a pitch that deteriorated as the game went on. Coventry Welsh started the better and put the OGs under pressure which resulted in their forwards infringing to stop any quick ball on several occassions leading to 3 penalties to Luke Horan. The long lay off told with some passes going astray and the wrong options taken but the Welsh finally breached the home defence when Matt Carrier charged through and Lee Ashford finished off the move with a fine try converted by Luke Horan. Credit to the OGs who kept in the game with some fine defence. Coventry Welsh players and officials enjoyed the pre & post match hospitality shown by their hosts on a very enjoyable trip.
