This is another big game as it's a must win for Chinnor as they chase the precious play off spot.

This Saturday Chinnor are home to 4th place Taunton Titans. This is another big game as it's a must win for Chinnor as they chase the precious play off spot. Although Taunton have nothing to play for, they will as always be giving their all to win and spoil Chinnor's hopes of taking second spot.

Chinnor's long standing home record is again on the line which adds more spice to this potentially epic encounter. The last time these sides met was in December and ended a 13 all draw with Taunton showing that never say die attitude by scoring in the closing minutes. It will be the same this weekend and nothing but Chinnor's best will be enough!

Up front Taunton are a big and uncompromising outfit and will be a real test for the Chinnor pack. Number 8 Sam Prior is a formidable force when given the chance and will look to break from the base of scrums and get front foot ball for the Titans backs. Flanker Dan Frost will look to keep his scoring record going as he has crossed the line an impressive 18 times for his side. Experienced Gary Kingdom will look to direct things from full back and punish any Chinnor ill discipline, as he is in red hot form with his boot. He has so far amassed a very impressive 274 points for the season.

Chinnor have made a few changes from the side that beat Worthing. Jay Tyack comes in for Joe Hutchinson in the front row. Mark Darlington starts at hooker with Tom Burns starting at 8. In the backline Charlie Broughton comes in on the wing.

Here we are going into another massive game in the Club's history as Chinnor look to keep the pressure on Old Elthamians for 2nd place. Your support will be greatly appreciated and always counts. We look forward to hearing you on Saturday. Onwards and Upwards!
