Witney II (Home)

Chinnor 2nd XV 10 vs. Witney 2nd XV 26
Saturday 28th January 2006
Friendly

Chinnor seconds ended up on the wrong end of the stick in their league match against old rivals Witney seconds, loosing 24 points to 10.

This was as usual very physical, with both teams giving their best. 

It took to the 20^th minute before Chinnor went ahead by some great forward driving for Ian Stock to score. This was followed by a converted try by Witney who then took the lead, and was the result of some very sloppy passing which allowed Witney to intercept a pass and score under the posts.

In the 38^th minute a long cross field kick by Ben Hewitt was picked up by Chinnor’s left wing Jamie Hiscock who scored in the corner and Chinnor regained the lead 10 points to 7, and that was how the first half finished. 

Sadly if Chinnor had have taken some of the opportunities to increase the lead with some better passing and less knock on,s, it would have been a different story 

The second half started off like the first with Chinnor in control most of the time, Witney then took the opportunity of another interception after a bad pass and scored to lead 12points to 10.

Witney used the wind to put Chinnor under pressure in the second half, which Chinnor had failed to do in the first half.  This paid off with Chinnor not clearing their line and allowing Witney in for another converted try, bringing the lead to 19 points to 10. And just to rub salt in to the wound Witney were given another converted try in the last minute of the game, after knocking the ball over the line by hand.  This was gratefully accepted by Witney, which gave them the game 26points to 10.

Scorers:
Tries: Ian Stock, Jamie Hiscock
