Chinnor 2nd XV 43 vs. Hertford 2nd XV 5
Saturday 5th April 2008
Canterbury League

Chinnor seconds beat Hertford seconds by 43 points to 5 in a Canterbury Shield league game. This was a game against a very good team and Chinnor made great use of home advantage from the start and although the conditions were not good Chinnor played good rugby. The Chinnor team consisted of at least 5 under 18 and 5 under 21 players out of team of 16, which is great for our future.

It took until the 20th minute for Chinnor to put the first points on the sheet with a fantastic try by Jordan Wood converted by Thad Cooper and five minutes later Thad added to score line with a well taken try. On 30 minutes Guy Hackshaw scored converted by Cooper. And Chinnor were in the lead by 19 points to nil. This was followed by great try by young Andy Millburn and the first half finished 24 –0.  Although Hertford played well they had no answer to Chinnor

The second half started with Hertford pressing the home team, but the Chinnor defence held up, and in the 10th minute of the second half the forwards and backs worked well together for Cooper to finish of with a converted try. Hertford then put their first points on the board but were unsuccessful with the conversion.

Then it was the turn of young Sam Ludgate once again converted by Cooper, 10 minutes later a try by Leon Westerman. And the game finished 43 points to 5.

A big thank you to all the youngsters
