Big E : I was showing nothing but praise for Caldy and what they have done, I think its outstanding and a lesson for all, that cheque books don't necessarily buy you the league title or keep you in it. I really hope you go all the way. p.s You got any tickets for 23rd going, asking for a friend.

I very much appreciate your view Scrumtime. I presume you are taliking about the 23rd April match against Sale at Paton Field? If you are, Caldy had 1,500 at the game back in 2017 and Caldy may have a big crowd this time- it is almost certain to be walk up and pay at the gate no matter the size of the crowd so your mate needn't worry. There are a helluva lot of tough games to go before that encounter.....begining this weekend against a Plymouth Albion side trying to ensure the unthinkable doesn't happen and then again next week against Leeds who will be trying to do exactly the same. There are absolutely no easy games in this league. Caldy scooted into a 21 point lead against TJs last week and then relaxed..........Juddians then quickly came back with 2 tries of their own and Caldy had to up their intensity to close the game out........not easy to do. In my view there are still a lot of shocks and surprises to come in National 1. Theoretically there are only 2 teams in National 1 who couldn't overhaul present leaders Caldy by getting to 79 points or more. Those two sides are Blackheath and Tonbridge Juddians and of course it is still entirely possible that both those sides could eventually end up in mid table Accordingly I suspect every team in National 1 will be fighting hard until the very last whistle of the season. This season National 1 is the only league where a team will be relegated....that is why it is the best rugby to watch in the whole of England.

Quite right Big Eddie but it will be two teams relegated not "a team"

I have just been reading Rosslyn Park's excellent news letter and I see that they know their rugby - RP view Sale as a bigger threat to the RP promotion bid than Caldy |

Birmingham Moseley 0 Taunton 5 Taunton all the way. Lovely brand of rugby stretch and flair will decapitate the bivouac lean-to Moseley scrum and a lineout Dick Fosbury would struggle to associate with
Blackheath 0 Leeds Tykes 5 Blackheath are down, half baked at best. Tykes seem to have gotten bigger, have an excellent scrum and in Venables a bit of gold dust to light up a match Caldy 2 Plymouth 2 I don't get the Caldy thing. Yes they are together and yes they always throw to the big fella 5m out. But Championship rugby is fools gold and more of a penance than a gift. (For advice talk to Leeds). Albion are dogged, determined and one of the best defensive sides I've seen. They might even sneak it. But if they don't, Taunton will in the following weeks. Chinnor 5 Tonbridge Juddians 0 I'm not sure what's happened at Chinnor? They were good early season. But still they should be too strong for TJs. I like TJs as an entity though and wish them well Cinderford 1 Rosslyn Park 5 The doomsayers seem to think Park are struggling? Not sure why? Best team I've seen this year and since Cinderford are a bit of a blunt instrument, reverting to 10 man rugby when under pressure, this may well be a walk in the Park. Will KP smile? Will Gash ST? Darlington Mowden Park 0 Cambridge 5 Not even close this one. Cambridge may have come good just a tad late. But they will steamroller DMP in their over capacitised stadium Sale FC 2 Rams 4 Still not sure about Sale. This may be the weekend they slide off. Rams are good value when they get rolling. Good 9 too and good young hooker.

Playing for pride B 1 L 4 Club can start planning now for Nat 2S next season. Caldy 5 PA 0 I have arranged for Gordon Ramsey and Jamie Oliver to arrive on the pitch by helicopter to prepare the pre match lunch. This will be sensational culinary delight re branded as " Noodel de Pot " - a Wirral Peninsula specialty with a French twist. Big Eddie will welcome the VIP guests in his Sheepskin Coat and will be the focus of the Global marketing drive - Gordon and Jamie anticipate that this unique recipe will be served in every Michelin Star restaurant for a mere $30 a portion - all proceeds to fund the Caldy players wages in the Championship. C 5 TJ 0 Business as usual. Cindy 1 Park 4 My head says 4-1 but my heart says 1-4 and I tend to agree with Scrumtimes detailed analysis. Lets see if Parks backs can at last create something? If not its back to the usual kick to the corner tactic which is mightily difficult to legally stop. If Park lose this they are truly in the manure business. DMP 0 C 5 C too classy.

Everyone who knows me would be concerned if they saw me in a sheepskin coat ......they would probably be happy to see an upgrade in my usual match day attire (especially Barrie) but would assume one of my favourite ewes had died
