Match Highlights | Championship Rugby, Round Eight | Doncaster Knights 19 – 24 Caldy RFC

24th December 2023

Tough one to take.

Caldy were very good & fully deserved it today and we were just 1/2% off it & that’s enough in this league.

Created 2 or 3 opportunities in the first half that we couldn’t convert & Caldy built a good lead off doing the opposite really & being clinical in the 22. Showed good fight to play 20 minutes with 14 men & to keep them out at the end and get a losing bonus point.

Ultimately poor discipline cost us which invited them to start with the ball too many times deep in our half.

Some great lessons for us to take out of today and we’ve got to come back after the Christmas break and respond positively with January being a massive month for us in the league.

Shown a number of times we can respond well to set backs already this season, got to move on fast and get excited about the challenges ahead, starting with 2 back to back home games against Ampthill and Bedford Blues.
