A Chinnor side travel to second placed Old Albanians with an exciting looking team ready to play against one of the leagues top sides. Chinnor have named an exciting team ready for the challenge of the last ten games of this season. This weeks challengers Old Albanians will have their own point to prove after dropping first place last week after two consecutive losses losing to Bishop Stortford 20-16 last weekend and Cambridge the week before 26-24. However with the caliber of their squad with the likes of Fly Half and Head Coach James Shanahan and Outside Centre Chris Lombardi Chinnor will be expecting a reaction from the second placed side.

Chinnors exciting team sees six changes and four positional changes. Director of Rugby Matt Williams has said in the Oxford Mail Today that Saturday is an opportunity to give people a chance and see if they are up for the relegation battle we are in,” he said “Our problem is that we are such a Jekyll and Hyde side.
“When we are good, we are very good – better than we were last season. But when we are bad, we are awful.
“And the biggest problem is that we display both sides during the same game.
“We were excellent against Redruth last week and led 8-0, but let them score two converted tries and got to half-time behind.
“We have got to find a consistent level of display.

Saturday sees Jonathan Phipps, Joe Vandermolen, Ben Manning, Greg Goodfellow, Sam Angell and Marcus Beer all come in however one of the most exciting bits of Chinnor news sees the debut of Chinnor Colt Cameron Hill who is on the bench.
