“That’s what you get when you stop concentrating; you loose control & possession up-front & allow the opposition to put you on the back foot.” The words of Chinnor's Director of Rugby Lyn Evans after his side had squandered a 29 points lead.

Thanks to a superb forward platform and some outstanding kicking from fly half James Cathcart, the visitors went into half time with an 18-3 lead. Six Cathcart penalties, two from over 45 metres; a third sailed between the posts but was so high over them, that the referee overruled the two touch judges who signalled success (even Bill Allen (Quins TJ) wiped his glasses and shook his head !!). Andy Noyce kicked the Quins penalty.

Chinnor flew into the 2nd half. First a forwards try given to Ed Rixon. Then a minute later winger Chad Ward seized on an interception and raced in from half way. Cathcart converted both.

The superb Quins fight back began in the 56^th minute with a converted try by Clinton Serle followed by unconverted tries from Sean Baxter & Elio Rechia. 32 points to 20 and eleven minutes to go.

In between Chinnor used replacements – Alan Cawston for Darren Oxley; Mat Hutchins & Jo Winpenny for Craig Burrows and Rob Harris.

Decisive score came in 75^th minute with an Alan Cawston try converted by Cathcart.

Consolation try came for Quins in the 3^rd minute of injury time from replacement Charlie Mawle.

Man of the Match – Fly half James Cathcart with his excellent kicking skills and 24 points.
