IT may have been a well-earned bank holiday weekend off for Caldy but the buzz of beating Birmingham Moseley in the final second of play has not yet died out.

The roar of Paton Field as Ben Jones confirmed an unlikely turnaround is still echoing in the minds of the players and will undoubtedly be the driver in securing safety.

"It was a great feeling being able to give the supporters the finish we have missed so narrowly out on so often this season," Derek Salisbury explained.

"If Ben Jones had pulled his finger out earlier we would’ve won it sooner!"

It was a victory nonetheless and it puts Caldy in a commanding (but far from certain) position to secure another season in National One Rugby – 15 points above the drop zone with four games to play.

"It's drilled into us that complacency kills," Salisbury said.

"We can still go down so there is no taking out foot off the gas."

The first hurdle of the final straight begins with a trip to Old Albanians who are fighting for their lives sitting second from bottom.

A recent win over fellow strugglers Loughborough has given renewed hope to Albanians knowing two similar results will give them a chance of survival.

"It's always harder travelling to another team's ground in this league. Everyone is stronger on home turf and the position both teams find themselves in means the ramifications are huge." 

Clearly the 21-0 score line in which Caldy were victorious in the home fixture will be unlikely this week.

Yet a similar 'stick it up your jumper'-style rugby may edge the game in Caldy's favour with captain Tom Sanders leading his pack of battering rams ever closer to securing National One status.
