We are a club which is passed from generation to generation, which inspires pride among its people wherever they are in the world. We are Coventry’s brightest sporting story. Our club in our city – do you want to be a part of it? OUR HERITAGE By choosing one of our sponsorship packages you will be joining a club which is steeped in history, with one of the most recognised names within club rugby. Within living memory Coventry was the most successful team in the country, with a team packed full of international players, including legendary British and Irish Lions David Duckham and Fran Cotton. Match days at Coundon Road – our home between 1921 and 2004 – were renowned for the passionate support given by the city’s faithful to the home team, and the intimidating atmosphere created for the opposition, which contributed greatly to the blue and whites’ success. By moving to Butts Park Arena Coventry Rugby returned to its roots, the club having played on the site in its earliest days when it was a hub for top class sport for the whole of the city, with the likes of Warwickshire playing First Class cricket and Coventry Godiva athletic club also competing there. We are not resting on our laurels or living in our past, but are using this heritage to inspire our future.

  • Dream Teams” Started to Appear Across Our Rugby Pages
    Forward by Karen Ratcliffe At the beginning of the lock down a number of “Dream Teams” started to appear across our rugby pages. I asked my dad to write one, who grumbled a bit (as is his way nowadays!) but took to the task and produced more than I thought he would. His Dream Team spans many generations of friends and childhood heroes from both codes of rugby. He does say that you would have to be fairly ancient to remember a lot of the players, but I have put links where I can, to the player’s biographies. If it gives a few of you something to read, and hopefully enjoy, in this time of uncertainty, he will be pleased. Introduction My dad is Don Bramley 86 years old this year. Farmer, photographer, author, writer of letters, historian, ex-rugby player, adventurer and so much more. You will see him, most Saturday afternoons at the rugby club, camera in hand, taking pictures and chatting to anyone that will listen to him. He can’t remember what he told me the other day, but his recollection of stories, events and people is, phenomenal. He has written a diary since he started school in 1945; we have boxes and boxes full of photographs and a similar amount of interviews with local people, with a tale to tell, recorded on C60 cassettes, and nearly 150 scrapbooks of newspaper clippings and photographs. Plus another 100+ of rugby, cricket, Sherburn church, flying, farming and Drax. I don’t think our family connections are as big as the Adamsons, but here goes in a nutshell.
