Coventry Bears Rugby League team are Midland Champions after beating Derby City at Old Coventrians Rugby Club in Tile Hill yesterday by 48-16.

The Bears led 18-6 at half time of the Cooperative Rugby League Conference Midlands Premier final thanks to tries from Tanaka Chamunokar, Nathan Tilsley, Dean Thompson and Ben Hands who made an eighty metre dash to dive over the line.



A try by Sub Mark Challis was quickly followed by a second for winger Chamunokara with Fullback Sam Montague also getting on the score-sheet.

Dean Thompson scored his second try of the match and with Nathan Tilsley kicking four conversions, the Bears were worthy winners.
