The leading lights in the first division carried on where they left off with victories for Tile Hill Trojans 1, Aylesford Hawks and Coventry College.
Arden Griffins’ frustration continued with their home game against Ernesford Eagles called off, as was the other fixture between Warwick china Red and Tamworth Tigers, whilst Tile Hill Trojans 2 made it three from three as they won at Coventry Tornadoes.
In Division Two Team Rebels continued their good form with a ten point win over Nuneaton, whilst leaders Rugby Rage were hosting Tile Hill Trojans 3 on Friday night at Harris School.

The draw was made on Wednesday night for the first round of this season’s Handicap Cup competitions.
