Nuneaton’s Historic Victory Over Coventry (March 26, 1950)


On a crisp spring afternoon in 1950, Nuneaton etched its name into local sporting legend. March 26th, 1950 saw the club triumph over fierce rivals Coventry in a match that would become an important part of our proud legacy, a victory that sealed the coveted Triple Crown.
That win wasn’t just a scoreline it was a statement. With the Triple Crown secured, Nuneaton became the pride of Warwickshire, a symbol of unity, resilience, and sporting excellence, which lives on today. The players were hailed as heroes, their names still spoken with reverence by those who remember.
Today, we celebrate that legacy. The boots may be hung up, the pitch changed, but the spirit of 1950 lives on in every tackle, every cheer, and every young player who dreams of greatness in Nuneaton red, white and black.
