Coventry 41, Wharfedale 14

Meagre possession in the first half was given away too easily and strong play from Coventry meant that the result of this National League One fixture was decided by half-time.

Coventry led 36-7, having rattled up five tries to the visitors' one. Mistakes by the Dalesmen were punished, with Coventry centres scoring three tries.

Strong play from the Coventry forwards created overlaps and space for Rob Knox and former Wharfedale player James Tincknell to score.

Matt Price crossed for Cov's fourth try after an efficient catch and drive from an attacking line-out.

With Matt Jones adding two conversions and a penalty, Coventry were ahead by 29 points in as many minutes.

The Yorkshire side gradually reduced the error count and were rewarded with a try by Huw Morgan, which Jamie Guy converted.

Tincknell grabbed another try before half-time to stress Coventry's superiority in the first half.

Wharfedale gave a much better account of themselves in the second period and, with a try apiece, they just edged the scoring as a result of a superb touchline conversion from Lloyd Davies after a try from Maxime Labasse.

The home side finished the scoring with an unconverted try from Devlin Hope after another catch and drive.
