A look ahead to Saturday's trip to the Butts Park Arena (3pm Kick Off).
This Saturday sees Mowden travel to table toppers Coventry as 1st host 2nd in the National One Table. Our hosts this weekend have lost just twice this campaign, securing promotion to the Championship next season. Their second loss came last weekend at the hands of Ampthill in a 22-10 defeat, the only time this season they have failed to take any points from a game.

Coventry’s top point’s scorer this season is Fly Half, Will Maisey with 240 points and their top try scorer is Winger/ Full Back James Stokes with 20, both of which are league leading numbers.
