Moseley 19 - 14 Coventry
Narrow defeat for Cov

As tight and hard-fought as most predicted...
I wasn't there unfortunately, but early reports suggest a game that Coventry dominated in the scrum but with Moseley coming away eventual winners.
Cov trailed 14-0 at half-time, falling behind to tries from Sheldon and (inevitably) Le Roux, but fought back in the second period to even things up with tries from Snyman and Fenner. Hone scored an unconverted try to take Moseley to a 19-14 lead, and despite Jubb being sent off it sounded as though the home side had to work hard to hold on for the victory.
From all accounts a pretty lively encounter - it will be interesting to see people's thoughts on the message board.
The prediction league has been updated, it's pretty tight there too!
Update:
John Wilkinson, busy chap that he is has written a match report for the official site, and also one for the Coventry Evening Telegraph. If you're interested there's also a take on it from Ben Goddard of the Birmingham Evening Mail.

Also, corrected my original report to credit Tony Fenner with the try rather than Sam Grasso.
Clearly Grasso is a sharp operator, he's not just pinching things from around the fringes in true scrum-half style, he's nicking entire tries from his team mates now.
Looking forward to tomorrow!
Cheers all,
Russ...
