Coventry Rugby Club docked 15 points by RFU

Coventry RFC

Coventry have been docked 15 points by the Rugby Football Union after going into administration.

The penalty is one the RFU applies to any Guinness Premiership, Championship or National League club which experiences insolvency during a season.

Coventry told the RFU they had gone into administration on 4 December.

The deduction will leave them 11th in the Championship on seven points - one place above Birmingham & Solihull who have also suffered a 15-point penalty.
