Conference Grand Final for Coventry
The Rugby League Conference announced that their Grand Final will be staged at
Coundon Road, the home of Coventry Rugby Union Club and Conference side Coventry
Bears.
The West Midlands venue successfully staged the RL Conference pre-season launch
in April and now it will host the Grand Final on Saturday, August 19.
RL Conference organiser Julian Harrison said: "We had numerous offers from other
clubs to host this increasingly prestigious event but Coventry's staging of the
pre-season event certainly impressed us.
"The stadium abounds with Rugby tradition and this is an organisation who is totally
committed to bringing more Rugby League to the West Midlands.
"Coventry RFC have undertaken to actively promote the match to their fans, sponsors
and regional media.
"This will be the third different Grand Final venue in as many years as we actively
seek to showcase the RLC throughout the country. Each year we have taken the Grand
Final to higher-profile venues and we are sure that anyone coming to the match
will have a tremendous day out."
