South push league leaders

South ran out at Welford road with a positive mind-set against Caldy and but for a late converted try by the visitors it would have been a win and 4 points, however a draw and 2 points against the league leaders keep south mid table and are top of the bonus points table

The first half ended 10-6 to the south courtesy of a try as well as five points from the boot of Rickie Aley, but the game opened up after the break.

Louis McGowan touched down for Caldy 10 minutes into the second-half, before South restored their advantage as Nicholas Cairns smashed his way over.

Lavin and Aley exchanged penalties midway through the second 40, before Aley’s fourth penalty of the afternoon seemed to have sealed the win for South. However, Tom Banks went over late on for Caldy before Lavin stepped up to steal a draw for the Wirral outfit which keeps them top of National Two North.
