Caldy’s 25th consecutive win of the season enabled them to do the double over one of the North West’s biggest clubs and in the process secure the National 2 North title with five games to spare.

Caldy moved another step closer to clinching the National League 2 North title with a crushing home win over Scunthorpe.

Another very tough February fixture for Caldy and another victory to extend the winning sequence to 23 wins from 23 games.

The difficult conditions were always going to limit the ability of either team to play error free rugby and so it proved at Paton Field where Caldy eventually tamed a gritty Sedgley Tigers side.

Last week’s bonus point 31-12 victory away at Otley brought Caldy their 20th consecutive win since the start of the season but this weekend they face their biggest challenge yet when third placed North Manchester side Sedgley Tigers come to Paton Field.

Caldy recorded their 20th win of the season at Otley’s famous Cross Green ground.

Last weekend a somewhat frustrated and disjointed Caldy secured an important 27-17 win over Hull at Paton Field to keep up their winning record in National 2 North, but it wasn’t a performance that Caldy Head Coach Matt Cairns was entirely happy with.

In a gritty and tough encounter Caldy preserved their 100% record with a win over Hull but it was close as visiting Birkenhead Park legend John McNally acknowledged.

Unbeaten in National 2 North, league leaders Caldy take on Hull at Paton Field this Saturday with a 2.15pm kick off.
