The climax of the Six Nations rugby tournament is being given
some added bite at a Coventry leisure centre.
The Coventry Sports Foundation managed Alan Higgs Centre in
Allard Way is to host a special international rugby dinner to mark
the final day of the tournament.
On Saturday, March 19 the venue will be showing what is set to
be the decisive England versus Ireland fixture on the centre's big
screen while also serving up a two-course meal with an Anglo-Gaelic
edge.
Andy Adkins, commercial manager at Coventry Sports Foundation,
said the event promised to be an exciting occasion.
"There is a lot of excitement around the game, especially as it
could turn out to be decisive, so we are really looking forward to
hosting this event," he said.
"I know a few of our staff members with English and Irish
connections have already started vying for bragging rights so it
should be a good atmosphere.
"We hope as many people as possible will attend and make this a
Six Nations tournament to remember!"
The main meal of Irish stew and dumplings with soda bread will
be followed by English and Irish cheese with biscuits and celery.
The bar will open from 3pm, with dinner served from 3.30pm followed
