Coventry Rugby gave their fans a Christmas present with a 29-12 victory over Cinderford at Butts Park Arena.

Phil Maynard's team took the lead in the 14th minute when Stevens ran in a try which Hodgson converted.

Eight minutes later and the crowd of 865 had another try to cheer when Tibbatts went over for a try which Hodgson again converted.

Although Bozzard ran in a try to make it 14-5 at the break, Coventry were going for the victory and five minutes after the restart, Hodgson kicked a penalty. 

Coventry attacked again and Harris ran in a 47th minute that Hodgson converted to complete his hat-trick.

However, in the 64th minute, Hodgson missed his kick after Harrop had run in Coventry's fourth try of the game.

Cinderford scored a penalty try in the final minute which was converted by Wilcox but Coventry were worthy winners.
