Barkers Butts Rugby Football Club is a rugby union club in Allesley, Coventry, West Midlands. The first XV currently play in Midlands 2 West (South), a seventh tier league in the English rugby union system. The club operates four senior teams, a Colts side and the full range of junior teams for both boys and girls.[1]

League history

When the league system was established in 1987, Barkers Butts was placed in the fifth tier, playing in Midlands 1 and were runners up in the first season of league rugby.[2] They finished in second place twice more (1990–91 and 1992–93) but were relegated from tier 5, then called Courage League Division 5, after the 1994-95 season.[3] and have not played at that level since. Subsequently, they have alternated between the sixth and seventh levels.
