The Rams kicked off with Chinnor playing into the sun and the wind. The Rams opened the scoring when scrum half Illingworth made a clean break, following a turn over, to run 40 m and score under the posts on 7 mins. Converted by Humberstone .At this stage of the game Chinnor were giving possession away by trying to force the pass. Lots of pressure from Chinnor was eventually rewarded with George Oliver going over on 22 min with Bentley adding the extras. Alex Bradley left the field with an injury and was replaced by Ben Manning, Immediately after this break in play Chinnor gained quick ball from a turn over resulting in Chinnor captain Danny Barnes breaking the Rams line and a beautifully timed pass put Bentley over in the corner to give Chinnor the lead. This Bentley converted himself with a fine kick form the touch line. Just before half time Rams came storming back with a slick offloading putting Collis in under the posts which was duly converted again by Humberstone making the scores level at 14-14 at half time.
The turning point of the game came early in the second half. A period of sustained pressure on the Chinnor line and 16 phases of play were met by an outstanding display of aggressive defensive which resulted in turnover ball. This allowed Chinnor to clear their lines and for George Oliver to score then scored his second and Chinnor’s third try. The bonus point was sealed following a sublime reactionary ball stealing manoeuvre by Ben Manning allowing Rhys Lawrence to eventually power over. From then on it was nearly all Chinnor who rounded off the afternoon with a final try in the 76th minute by Henry Lamont
