Coventry Bears

All bona fide club members (those that paid membership fee for 2008) are invited to this years AGM.

Sunday 25 November 2007 saw the Carvell Coventry Bears AGM sign off another highly successful year in style. This year saw the Bears turn out two Men’s teams, and under 11, 13 and 15’s and a Women’s team, with the Men’s team having 100% success in the Rugby League Conference Midlands Premier division only to lose narrowly in the Grand Final.

Matt King is a remarkable young man. In April 2004 at the age of just 17, playing in his first professional Rugby League match for London Broncos Academy, Matt sustained a serious spinal injury 20 seconds into the game which left him permanently paralysed from the neck down and requiring a ventilator to breathe.

On Sunday November 4th, the plan will become a reality when once again Matt will make history by becoming the first person with his level of injury to attempt the Marathon.
