The first match after the Christmas break is always tricky. Facing one of the best attacking line ups in National 2 rugby created a pre match nervousness in the Ravers' camp. The whole squad had lived up to their name after a sparkling away win against Chester on 21 December and with little in the way of training and a lot in the way of eating/drinking and raving were they going to be undone?

That they won through against a good Sheffield Tigers team was down to to the strength of the team and their determination not to let their mates down. The Caldy wall was only breached in the final minute after it had repelled everything the Tigers threw at it. First half possession was probably 70% Tigers and the second half a bit more even but probably still 60/40 in favour of the men from Dore Moor.

The difference was in the small things. Caldy made every chance count and made very few mistakes. Sheffield were committed,competiitive but not as clinical. 

Sheffield stayed a while at Paton Field to add to the atmosphere and to enjoy the banter. They were good company and a good set of blokes. I hope it isn't too long before we play them again.
