What an absolute masterclass from the lads! To go into the break trailing by five and then completely blow Caldy off the park with 33 unanswered points in the second half speaks volumes about the character and fitness of this squad. That’s six on the bounce now, and honestly, we look unstoppable.
We came out firing, and Reeves set the tone early doors, crossing twice inside the opening twenty minutes. But credit to Caldy—they scrapped hard, took their chances through Hearn and Oliver, and managed to nick a 15–10 lead at half-time. A few nerves in the away end? Maybe for five minutes.
Whatever Alex Rae said to them in the changing rooms worked a treat, because the response was relentless. Five minutes in, Reeves bagged his hat-trick, Tom Matthews nailed the conversion, and from that moment on, it was pure Coventry dominance. Caldy simply couldn’t live with the pace. Sam Maunder crashed over just five minutes later, and then the floodgates burst open. Rhys Fulford and Tom Bacon ran in ruthless tries of their own, with Matthews laser-sharp off the tee to keep the scoreboard ticking over.
The cherry on top? Reeves wasn’t done. Scoring four tries in an afternoon is pure filth, and putting us past the 40-point mark put the exclamation point on a sensational performance. Caldy didn’t even get a look-in during that second forty—just completely suffocated by our intensity.
To walk away from Paton Field with a 43–15 bonus-point win on the road is massive. Rae’s Blue-and-White army is marching, full of swagger and playing some of the best rugby in the Championship right now. Come on Coventry!
