It took Chinnor to score their 6th try to make this game safe. They frittered away a 10 point advantage mid-way through the second period, when Penryn struck back with two tries of their own in within a 5 minute period, and had to dig deep into their reserves to achieve the result they so sorely needed. Both sides played some attractive rugby in the second half which proved to be a nail biter.

Chinnor were not helped in the final quarter as, ace goal kicker James Cathcart sustained a groin injury when going over for his first half try and was unable to kick for goal.

Chinnor scored in the 1st. minute of the game when Cathcart hoisted a high up and under which full back Nick Brown fumbled allowing Darren Oxley to win the race for the touchdown. Cathcart adding the conversion. They should have increased this minutes later but it took a deliberate knock on to thwart them. Surprisingly the offender was not carded as this prevented a certain try. Cathcart missed with the resultant kick. Penryn struck back via the boot of captain Dave Pascoe who unerringly kicked 3 penalty goals to put the visitors in front.

With Hutchins in the sin bin for an offence at the line-out Chinnor scored their second try when Cathcart broke from 22 metres to score and add the conversion. A try by Mann with Pascoe adding the extra points, when Winpenny found himself in the sin bin for a technical offence, put Penryn in the ascendancy at the half way mark.

Chinnor were first to strike in the second half when after some patient build up Darren Oxley went over in the corner. A try by full back Richard Major, which he converted, after the home side had created the overlap gave Chinnor a ten point cushion. Chinnor then over elaborated, and instead of consolidating threw out a loose pass when they were on the attack, gave possession to Penryn who worked the ball skilfully to put full back Brown in for a try. With scrum half Pascoe scampering over, after a fine pick-up and feed from No.8 Ben Short, and converting both tries, Penryn were now in the lead.

Sam McIvor then got into the act when he took a one handed catch from a half break by Cameron Shaw to score. With Chinnor failing with two penalty goals from in front of the posts it took a final try by Shaw, who cut through the Penryn defence, to touch down near the posts to settle the nerves. A final onslaught by Penryn was safely kept at bay by the Chinnor defence.
