Blues lose out but Mob fight back at London Scottish
Blues fought hard to give themselves a chance but all the critical moments seemed to go in Caldy’s favour as they continued their remarkable run of recent form to keep on climbing the Championship table in their debut season in the second-tier.
Blues were behind for large periods of the game and were flattered to be only 21-14 down at the break.

Following the game, head coach Paul Turner said: “It was a game of two halves. We were deservedly behind at half time, our ill-discipline cost us.
"I said to the players that the missed conversion just before half time kept the game within reach at 19-7, the game could have got away from us.
"We had a good start to the second-half but got lulled into a lack of possession and were really staring down the barrel at 19-14 but we had a great last ten minutes. We’re really pleased with the result.”
