Chinnor started well , finished with a flourish but in between provided somewhat of a lack lustre performance. Gloucester Old Boys played to their strength which was very much forward oriented. They denied Chinnor possession by virtue of strong scrummaging and an accurate line-out. Consequently Chinnor could not get their hands on the ball as the Old Boys kept the game tight with driving mauls. This was frustrating for the home side as they were itching to get their threes into the game as  often as possible.

Chinnor opened the scoring when Cathcart sliced through the Old Boys defence to score a fine individual try under the posts and add the conversion. The old Boys replied with a well struck penalty by Matt Sherrett after their first incursion into Chinnor territory. Cathcart replied minutes later with a penalty before Cameron Shaw charged down an attempted clearance kick to follow up and touch down near the corner flag. Chinnor then went into their shell allowing the Old Boys to take the game to them and it was no surprise that after a succession of rolling mauls, second row forward Greenwood went over the line to give a half time shoreline of 15pts to 8 in Chinnor's favour.

The Old Boys started the second half by once again taking the game to Chinnor via their forwards and were rewarded early on with a Sherrett drop goal. This was a wake-up call for the home side who started to gain some possession to give to their three quarters. Two penalties from Cathcart put them on their way before Cameron Shaw got his second try after the strong running Sam McIvor put him over in the corner. A fine touchline conversion by Cathcart completed the scoring. It was good to see James Hewitt looking the part after his long lay off and once again Matt Hutchinson put in a sterling performance in the second row.
