Colts step into limelight

NUNEATON COLTS hold the spotlight at Liberty Way tomorrow on a blank weekend for the club's senior team when they entertain Torquay in the quarter-finals of the National Colts Cup. Kick-off is 2.30pm and entrance is free (programme Ł1). Nuns have beaten Huddersfield (41-0), Hereford (65-0), Earlsdon (50-0) and Moseley (10-8) to reach the last eight for the first time. FLY-HALF Dan Richards returned from injury to kick 16 points as hold-ers Broadstreet moved into the final of the Coors Warwickshire Cup with a 31-20 win over Midlands One rivals Kenilworth.

Richards, who broke his ankle in early January, put over four penalties and two conversions as Street opened up a decisive 25-5 lead by half-time on their way to a repeat of last season's final success.

* DEFENDING champions Warwick School are ready for their delayed Daily Mail Under-18 Schools Cup semi-final against Wellington College at Banbury RFC tomorrow (11am).

The game was due to be played at Broadstreet last Saturday but had to be postponed while an appeal from St Peter's HS, Gloucester, into their disqualification from the competition was heard. The effect of the appeal was to delay Wellington's quarter-final until last weekend. The winners will meet St Benedict's from Ealing in the final at Twickenham on April 2.
