Coventry signed off their National League One campaign with an outstanding victory over second-placed Rosslyn Park in a remarkable game at Roehampton.
Cov had their four-try bonus point wrapped up in 32 minutes as, scoring 26 points in just 18 minutes, they raced into a 37-12 lead by the break with some scintillating rugby.
But they were hanging on for much of the second half as Park roared back to go in front at 45-40 before a late Will Hurrell try and five points from the boot of Matt Jones steered the visitors through.
Jones kicked a third-minute penalty for Cov, but Park posted a swift reply with a Kiba Richards try and Scott Sneddon conversion.
Cov regained the lead on 13 minutes, a Wayne Evans chip bouncing kindly for Dan Rundle to gather and race away to the posts, Jones converting, Scott Hamilton claimed Cov's third try after 20 minutes from a well-judged crossfield kick by Jones, who again converted, and six minutes later Cov's scrum shunted Park over the line for Danny Wright to touch down another converted try.

Well done Cov, shame that this record breaking season hasn't ended with promotion, but am still proud to be blue n white and proud of what the lads have achieved.
