Barkers Butts 11 Nuneaton Old Edwardians 20
By Coventry Telegraph
November 19 2008
OLD Eds came back from an 11-0 deficit at half-time to dictate the second half and score 20 unanswered points for a fourth successive league win in a game marred by an injury to veteran Barkers prop Gary Smith. On as a replacement, Smith dislocated a knee at a scrum in the final minutes of the match which was completed on an adjoining pitch while he received treatment.

Eds coach Paul Vowles was full of praise for his side. "It was a game in which we showed a lot of passion, but we are not yet the finished article," he said.

Sam Montague, playing at outside centre, crossed for Barkers after 18 minutes and two Nathan Tilsley penalties in the last five minutes of the half gave the home side a useful advantage. But Eds fly-half Duncan Carter used the wind to good effect after the break to pin Barkers in their half, and tries from debut winger Arwel Davies and back row Stuart Holes and a penalty and conversion by Ashley Kalnins put the visitors in front before Davies hacked through from his own half to seal victory at the death with his second try.
