COVENTRY'S home National Division One game against neighbours Moseley next season could go ahead on the once-traditional Boxing Day date. The Decemnber 26 games between the arch rivals were the highlight of the year for many in pre-league days and with the two scheduled to meet at the Butts Park Arena on the weekend of December 27, Cov are hoping to presuade Moseley
to move the game forward 24 hours to Boxing Day which this year falls on a Friday.

Cov have already moved their home game against Bedford to Friday October 3 (7.30pm) from the following afternoon to guage the demand for an evening fixture, and - as last season - the matches against Nottingham have been reversed. Cov will now go to Meadow Lane on Sunday December 7 with the reverse game on Saturday, April 25 - the final day of the season.

Former England Sevens captain, fly-half Howard Graham has joined Cov's coaching team to look after the backs.

Graham, who played for Nuneaton last season, has now left the armed forces and is keen to make his mark in coaching.

"Howard wants to take the step into coaching and we we are going to help him," said Cov's rugby director Phil Maynard.

"He did a couple of trial sessions which went well and will be coming in three or four times a week when we need him and when he is not away on any courses. It's an arrangement that suits both parties."
