LIONS: The Griff and Coton has kindly agreed to screen the British and Irish Lions test matches on Saturday, June 24, July 1 and July 8. You'll have to get up early though as the games all kick off at 8.35am. Free food is available at half-time. The turn out of the first test will dictate whether the remaining tests will be screened.

SAUSAGE AND CIDER: Coventry Welsh RFC is hosting a sausage and cider festival as well as a tug of war event which will raise funds for JS7. Welsh have already been big supporters of the fund, donating £300 initially. Please pop along if you can and be sure to wear a Manor Park item of clothing to let them know we were there!

PRE-SEASON: Yes the dreaded pre-season begins on Tuesday, July 4 at the Griff and Coton from 6.45pm. Please let's have a strong turn out for the first session! There will be a session on Thursday and training will be Tuesday/Thursday therein.

KEEPING IN THE LOOP: While this website is heavily visited, we also have a growing email circular which pushes thing such as fixture lists and appeals. If you would like to be added to it, send an email to manorparkrfc@hotmail.co.uk

SPONSORSHIP: There's two new areas of sponsorship this season we can fill. Firstly, we are seeking a sponsor to go on our new dress shirts to accompany a new tie. If anyone has any credible leads, please push them to Bobby B. Also, we will soon be unveiling advertising boards at the cricket end of the pitch on the perimeter parking fence. Again, please contact BB regarding these!
