On Saturday Chinnor in their game against Taunton RFC secured a play off place for possible entry to the 3rd tier of National Rugby

Chinnor required only one point for the play off place which they achieved with their 4th try after only 25 minutes. They went on to score another 4 tries and a total of 5 league points in their 45-56 win against 4th placed Taunton Titans .

Matt Willliams Director of Rugby said” Today I am incredibly proud of the Team and my support staff having secured this play off place with 3 games still remaining . Our record this year so far of played 27 won 24 ,drawn 1 lost 2 is outstanding and in any other year in this league would have earned automatic promotion. Cinderford however to their credit have a slightly better record and whilst it is unlikely we will catch them we look forward to the play-off when we will have the chance to make Club and RFU history again and gain entry to National 1 which is the league just below the Championship. This would be a remarkable achievement for such a young club.”

The play off date is likely to be May 5th and providing Chinnor get 6 more league points from their remaining 3 games it will take place at Kingsey Rd, Thame

The President of Chinnor John Ashfield commented "We are thrilled that all of the management and squads hard work has secured them this fantastic opportunity. We are a Community based Club and all of our many youngsters , players and members will be very excited to see the senior squad continue their march forward.
This could not have been achieved without the tremendous support of our sponsors who should be as proud of this achievement as we are.It would be great to see as many local supporters and friends as possible at our two remaining home games on the 14th and 28th April to help us obtain the points necessary for a home play-off.
What a fantastic day that should be for the town of Thame and the surrounding areas."
