Caldy – That Friday Feeling 19th Dec ’25

Caldy’s last Championship fixture before Christmas is tomorrow away against 6th placed Hartpury. The Wirral side are not expecting an early Christmas present to be gifted by the always athletic and well drilled side from Gloucester who remain the only Champ side that the Ravers have never beaten during their tenure in the 2nd flight.
