Barkers Butts', like Coventry Rugby Club, is incredibly sad to learn of the passing of former Coventry captain, David Foulks earlier this week. David or Dave, as he was known to so many, went to Woodlands School and played Colts Rugby at Barkers' before going down Coundon Road making his Coventry Club debut in the season of 1973/74. Dave then played regularly over the ensuing decade, becoming Club Captain in a very significant season, 1981/82. 

We wish to send our sincere condolences to his family, as well as to everyone at Coventry Rugby, at this sad time.
