West Wales Raiders failed to repeat their last victory in league one which was against the Bears in July 2019, as Coventry came to Llanelli and returned to the Midlands with all the spoils outscoring the home team by 5 tries to two, plus they kicked four penalties in the second half. At half time the home side had scored only one try but had conceded 22 points. The second half was closer with Coventry edging it 14-6 to make the final score 36-10 in favour of the Bears.

"Prop-forward Peter Ryan got Coventry off to the perfect start against the Raiders with his double inside the opening 20 minutes opening up a 0-12 lead.

West Wales hit back thanks to Marcus Webb but tries from AJ Towse – who joined in midweek from York - on debut and Liam Welham before half-time meant the Bears went into the break with a 4-22 lead.

The hosts notched the first try of the second half through Daf Phillips but couldn’t mount a comeback. Coventry opened up the scoreline with late efforts from Nathan Hill and Kieran Sherratt."
