WINGER Pete Sullivan produced a dazzling hat-trick as Coventry turned on the power in the final stages to brush aside Richmond at the Recreation Ground.

It had been a closely-fought first period in Saturday's round five Champ Rugby contest as Cov eked out a 14-12 lead.

But Alex Rae's visitors cranked up the pressure in the final hour and were rewarded with five tries, including a treble from Sullivan inside 16 minutes. Coventry had opened the scoring with a try from Jordon Poole, converted by Tommy Matthews, only for hooker Alexander Post to reply with a try three minutes later.
