Reminds me of the amusing cinema ad. Pen 15 could have said in this headgear: "When I told my friends I was going to Blundellsands they said 'wear the fox's hat'" Hopefully people won't be saying that in 10 years time.

The original place used in the joke was I understand Wakefield. Let's not forget Wakefield as we sound off about essences in rugby and the future of our game . . . . . .

mmmm A good win but not the best performance for Caldy.....Was it 40 - 10?
Waterloo seemed well up for it and deserved credit...Great game for Arnie.
The ref was awful with some very strange decisions going both ways.....
PS the Waterloo fans were a nice bunch!

It was 10-40...the game was ruined as a spectacle by the referee....Gavin Roberts was Caldy's man of the match by a mile...he looked a class player....Cheeky, at the back of a beaten scrum, was an absolute hero for Loo....very friendly supporters from both clubs....good atmosphere...enjoyable afternoon.

So how come the referee was awful. Was that because you didnt score enough points? Surely that is done to players. I was led to believe the vicar was the referee today? Did he have his usual shocker??

Expected a bigger margin in the score today. Were the mighty Caldy forwards not up to the billing given in BBB's previous posts ??
Well done Waterloo ........boys done good after last weeks mauling.

I found it amazing, and rather sad, that most of the Loo supporters were pleased with the scoreline
40 points to 10 .... 6 tries to 2
5 league points for Caldy 0 for Loo
It seems unlikely, to me, that Caldy will win promotion to Div 1
However, they have confirmed their status as the top side on Merseyside; something that I would never have believed possible, during my playing days back in the 60's + 70's
I take no pleasure from Loo's demise
But, I do celebrate Caldy's magnificent achievement

Gavin Roberts best player on the pitch by a country mile. As I hoped, he showed what a real talent he is.
With terrific acceleration and brilliant balance he carved the Waterloo defence open every time he got the ball and his offloads and creation of overlaps led to a couple of the Caldy scores.
Where has Gavin Roberts been so far this season? With his ability he could play at a far higher level. Brilliant performance.
Waterloo defended well and it was scoreless for the first 20 minutes. Cheeky and Lyon both got yellow cards but this was inept refereeing rather than over robust play.
The referee preferred to give lengthy sermons than let the game flow and he conspired to let the intensity of the occasion dissipate
There was real committment from Waterloo and their players gave everything. By and large Caldy played with 7 in the pack as Paul Arnold occupied the 'inside inside centre' berth for the entire 80 minutes.
I feel that my pre match analysis was accurate. Not the 50 + point drubbing everyone predicted and Gavin Roberts the star man.

Oh! what a shame.....a further post from BBB
Have to agree with him, about Gavin Roberts, but why does he have to come across as such a smug bar-steward?  ( That's BBB, not Gav who is a great guy )

Early in the season, with the arrival of several players at Caldy, it looked as though Gavin Roberts was being cast in the rĂ´le of bit-part player. It is good to see him back 'at the top' (even if I didn't see him).
Seagoon is doubtful that Waterloo played Caldy in the 70s. It seems he has no recollection of it: nor apparently has the Caldy Statto The Caldy fixture secretary of that time is adamant that the fixture was made and took place. It has also come to light that there was a game between the two clubs which took place in 1946. John Burrows was playing that day for Caldy.

Not everyone predicted a 50+ point drubbing. BBB you for one didn't, and I was not expecting it either.
