Cov clinching promotion back to the Championship.
Cold, snowy day, only place to do commentary for local radio behind the goalposts.
Cov scored all but 1 try attacking '' our end '' When in the second half a try was scored 90 metres away, twitter confirmed the name of the scorer !
Memories come flooding back, not forgotten easily !!!

What you wouldn't have known Cov Kid was that Saturday was meant to be a free weekend and foollishly about a dozen of the 1st team squad including circa 8 or 9 starters had pre booked a stag weekend and when this rearranged fixture was then pencilled in...consternation! 

The team that played a very good Coventry side was mostly Caldy's second xv. Caldy feared a terrible shellacking but after conceding some 40+ points in the first half they rallied in the 2nd half (and Cov almost certainly took their foot off the peddle) and Caldy got a few scores back. The final score was almost respectable given the circumstances...

Caldy are likely to play their 1st xv against Cov in this coming season...........only fair as Caldy's 2nd xv are on a 45+ game winning streak and it wouldn't be sporting to take undue advantage .

In January it's 'hel', to rhyme with hell as the wind cuts in from the Irish Sea and the sleet hits you horizontally!

Are these the opening lines from the Caldy rap?

How easy is it to get to the Caldy ground from central Liverpool? 
I had a look on Google Maps and it seems to hint there’s a bus from West Kirby station or am I just best off getting a taxi the whole way or even from Birkenhead? 
I’m disabled so I can’t walk huge distances hence I’m asking about transport. I’m staying next to Lime Street station so I can get to whichever station. I used to live in Liverpool so I’m fine on that side of the water but I don’t know the Wirral too well. 
Thanks :)

If you can get to the underground station attached to Lime Street you can get a train to West Kirby they run quite frequently, You would need to get a taxi from West Kirby as the Bus route is very infrequent. Alternatively get off at Hamilton Square Birkenhead and get a taxi , however it is going to be much more expensive. It is just a matter of picking up a taxi from West Kirby Station. From West Kirby it is only 15 minutes by Taxi.
I suggest you book ahead to ensure that the taxi will be at West Kirby station when you arrive Phone 0151 201 1111 .Train journey time from Lime street approx. 33 minutes
