Chinnor 2nd XV 71
vs. Maidenhead II 10
Saturday 4th March 2006
League
Chinnor 2nds had a
great win in their league match against old rivals Maidenhead 2nds
by 71 points to 10 well led by Captain Tom Wood.
Chinnor forwards took control of
the scrums, mauls and loose play from the first kick and linked up well
with the back line, they too were in top form. The inter passing between
forwards and backs was outstanding as was the ball retention for the
whole team.
The first points came in the 7th
minute with a try by Ian Stock in tandem with Paul Fincken after some
great forward play that was converted by Richard Williams from the
touchline. Rich followed this up with 3 breaks through the centre to run
in 3 converted tries and a penalty giving him 26 points tally in 18
minutes of play, and Chinnor a lead of 31 points to 0
It was then the turn of Ben
Hewitt to score after some slick passing by the backs again converted by
Rich. Paul Fincken finished off the first half with a try that was once
again converted by Rich and Chinnor Seconds finished the first half 45
points to Nil.
Paul Fincken started the second
half as he finished the first with a try that was converted by Rich and
followed 5 minutes later by a break by Simon Matthews who ran half the
pitch and off loaded the ball to Danny Burns who scored under the posts.
This was followed 3 minutes later after good forward and back line
passing for James Dollery to score in the corner. Chinnor then made
three substitutions. Temporarily forgetting about the basics, everyone
wanted to score and in a 3-minute period Maidenhead scored 2 tries and a
conversion giving them 12 points. Chinnor then settled down and the
whole team got involved with the ball going from hand to hand. Ali
Reekie scored and conversion by Rich Williams. The referee ended the
game 5 minutes early with a final points tally of 71points to 12.
Richard Williams was named man
of the match for his 3 tries, 1 penalty and 9 conversions, giving him 30
points. Other outstanding players were by Alan Cawston, Paul Fincken,
Danny Burns having listed names, the other 14 players had also played
very well.
Finally hats off to Maidenhead,
they never gave up and fought with spirit.
