Wildboys are Reckless and so Hungered

February the 13th saw a very strong Wildboys side travel away to face a resilient Reading side. With Captain and Vice Captain White brothers away on a romantic valentines weekend in Rome watching the national team play. So up stepped the influential Wreck it Ralph Jon Goodson to lead the Wildboys out on the frontline. Also to strengthen the squad Ian Stock, Jon Lavin and George Blewit were brought in for their Wildboys debut's. A returning Nicholas Harrison also started in the back row with a special guest appearance from ex 1st team player and 2nd team coach Edward Devine making his comeback from years of injury, Then with the Collins twins bolstering the bench the Wildboys looked a force to be reckoned with.
Confidence was booming before kick off with all the new faces in the team, the Wildboys have never looked so fearsome. They didn't get the start that they were looking for, giving away a penalty just outside their own 22 straight in front of the post resulting in the Reading fly half slotting an easy 3 points. Shortly after Reading had another penalty virtually in the same spot after Jon 'The Mouth' Lavin questioned the referee about a Chinnor player originally knocking on. The Mouth continued his protest only for the ref to take quick offence and sharpishly ushered The Mouth away. However to everyone's surprise the Reading fly half shanked the penalty wide, let of for Chinnor.
From this the Wildboys decided to up their game, having been awarded a penalty George Blewit kicked for touch from the resulting line out Chinnor drove towards the Reading try line, Harry Hillier picked the ball up from the back of the driving maul and shot down the blind side to touch down in the corner for the first of many tries for the wild boys. conversion fell short 5-3 Wildboys.
Chinnor dominated possession throughout the whole game and spent most of time in the reading half. With all the pressure coming from Chinnor another penalty was given, Harry Hillier with a quick tap and go down the right side shipping the ball to Nicholas Harrison leaving a two on one he passed to Guy 'Butter Fingers' Hackshaw on the supporting run for a definite try only for him to somehow spill the ball on the try line. To everyone's frustration from this the Wildboys upped more pressure and physicality with hard hits coming in from Ian Stock, George Hope and Wild Bill. With Chinnor in possession breaking down the right hand side through their backs using simple hands George Culbert scored in the corner for Chinnors second try of the half. Conversion missed 10-3.
Again the Wildboys were abusing the Reading pack in their 22, phase after phase of relentless pressure eventually for the ball to fall to Harry Hillier who cheekily did a show and go to gracefully score Chinnors third. Conversion was successful 17-3.
Soon after Chinnor had their fourth try, Ian stock breaking the line to skilfully offload to Jon Lavin who scored his debut try under the posts. Conversion successful 24-3.
Again the Wildboys were enjoying their rugby showing off their silky skills and hard running lines in their backs, resulting in this time Guy Hackshaw side stepping his way through the line of defence who passed it inside to the supporting run of James Way who was then tackled on the 22, quick ball was recycled left for John Down to crash through and runaway for the fifth try. Conversion missed this time 29-3.
To finish of an eventful first half Nicholas Harrsion went over making it 34-3.
The 2nd half saw Chinnor run in another 6 tries scored by Adam Draper (2), George Culbert, Ian Stock, Guy Hackshaw and Nicholas Harrison, with James Way (2) and Harry Hillier (1) taking up the conversion responsibilities. The Wildboys completely dominated the whole game playing the best rugby they played all season. A special mention to Edward Devine who came off the bench and showed that he hasn't lost it with some thumping hits and impressive carries, good to see you back. Also credit to Reading lll's who never gave up the fight and played right up to the final whistle.
With such a very eventful game it was difficult to pick a stand out player for man of the match, but once again votes went to George Hope, who consistently plays out of skin week in week out. He was again everywhere around the park making hard tackles. This maybe the reason why with 10 minutes to go he was chundering on the side of the pitch, it could of been his efforts throughout the game that caused this or his efforts the night before no one knows but everyone assumes the latter. Mare of the match was a easy one which went to Guy Hackshaw for his outrageous fumble over the try line.

You know you love me.
