Due respect was paid by both sets of supporters as Blues went down 26-18 in the first league game of the campaign. Her Majesty the Queen's passing was marked with a one minute silence and a heartfelt singing of the National Anthem.
Blues acquitted themselves well - scoring in the very first minute courtesy of Dean Adamson who seized on some poor handling.
Coventry came back to make it 14-8 in their favour at the break. The home side went ahead 26-8 only for Blues to produce a late rally with tries from Alex Woodford followed by Jack Hughes from a driving maul.
Not a time to reflect on a poor penalty count but to recognise the strength of character and support that our game can provide at times like these.
