Great to be back at Caldy after a few years.
Beautiful sunny evening and big crowd. I'm guessing about 1500? Big Eddie where were you hiding?

Jersey Reds v Leicester Tigers (Pre-season fixture) - Friday, August 19, kick-off 5pm | Leicester Tigers
Brilliant to make a start to the new season and after my migration south I can report that the walk from the ground to my new abode took 23 minutes! Plaudits due to Sean for keeping the bar going after the late surge of interest in tickets and Milo for his efforts in producing a pitch that looked picture perfect and for tirelessly filing in in the overworked bar at the west end. The Tiggers fans are exceptional and always welcome.

Finished 26-35 on the Island, a slight improvement on last season when the eventual Prem champs beat us by 10.
I see Caldy v Sale finished 5-40; great to see BE landing properly on the Champ forum & hopefully a good crowd & derby atmosphere at PF…

5-28 at HT. 3 Tigers rolling mauls and a forward move try. TBH Jersey have done alright. The defense looks pretty good, although they did tire at the end of the half for the 4th try.
Jersey playing with the breeze 2 nd half and 30 changes could make it an interesting 2nd 40 |

First post ahead of the new season and first proper post in the Championship forum.
Caldy take on Sale Sharks tonight at Paton Field and they are probably hoping that a wooden hut and an open (...ish) field will so discombobulate the visitors that it will give the Ravers a slight advantage. Cady Chairman Gary Devaney and Director of Rugby Gareth Davies have themselves undertaken a period of intense preparation ahead
of tonight’s game against Sale Sharks. Caldy’s two senior
men have just returned from participating in the Caldy RFC Shark Fishing
tournament off Falmouth. This prestigious catch and release tournament
organised by Caldy supporter Derek Salisbury using specialist big game boats and skippers is fast becoming a
fixture in the UK Big Game Fishing calendar. Gareth’s team eventually won through after a hook up late
on the second day with the tournament’s biggest Blue Shark caught by Jake Lyon on big game boat 'Anglo Dawn'. Anglo Dawn skipper Andy Howell was impressed by a couple of firsts racked up by Caldy 2nd row 6ft 7 inch giant Richard Bradshaw......who landed the first 'bonito' skipper Andy Howell has ever seen in UK waters. Richard was also the first big game fisherman ever to bring his own spew bucket and disinfectant spray onto Anglo Dawn. Richard Bradshaw is a man who needs to be prepared "just like the Ravers who need to be thoroughly prepared for what they are facing tonight, it was important for me to be ready for big seas 25 miles offshore......the bucket was a very essential bit of kit, I had a little difficulty keeping my Pot Noodle under control" Braddie was keen to point out the good omens thrown up by the result of the Caldy Shark Fishing tournament "The younger team led by Gaz Davies outperformed the established pre tournament favourites of Gary Devaney, Derek Salisbury, Barrie Pilgrim and Paul Harrison. Once we heard from the skipper of the 'Seawatch' that Barrie's sea legs and ankles had gone and he had told skipper Nigel "......We need a bigger boat"............we knew that we just had to ignore the rough seas and power through to get the win." "Bring it on ........the more Sharks the better" " said Richard 'Quint' Bradshaw Edited by Big Eddie - 19 Aug 2022 at 13:25 |

On a hot very dry pitch!!! I bet the backs looked very good. I would hate to be in the front row. Not nice at all.
The best of luck to Coventry and Doncaster in the season ahead. Cut the players some slack though. Pre-season is just that. Hard work All the best ST

They looked young and fast. This was good in the backline, less so in the pack.
