Gibbo decides to change the direction of the maul.

Second Row Mike Griffiths claimed 10 points in an impressive display to keep their unbeaten record on track.

Dougal Nicholls kicked a try from Pete Gibson and a penalty mid way through the second half.

The forwards combination played well with every player giving his utmost. The experience in the team lead to domination in the scrums and lineouts giving the Chiltern players plenty of ball.

The backs didn't let their forwards down, with the deadly combination of Killer and Dangerous pairing up well in the centres, the first try came from a well worked move with Dangerous being stopped just short of the try line. Luckily Mikey was close in support taking the pass from Dangerous before he went to ground to score in the corner.

Gibbo extended the lead minutes later after sustained pressure from a Chiltern driving maul. Close to the Winslow try line Gibbo broke free to score a well worked try.

Graham and Nick Fisher, freshly back from Durham University, were eager to put on the claret and white jersey's. The brothers, playing in the backrow together, had exceptional games with both making blistering runs, breaking down the Winslow defence on numerous occasions.

The third try came from winger, David Morgan, breaking through a tackle to score under the posts. Unfortunately the referee had eyes like a hawk, spotted some crossing earlier in the play and disallowed the points.

Mikey touched down his second try just before the interval, again with good hands in the backs the ball was stopped yards from the try line. Mikey recovered the ball to score in the corner.

At the begining of the second half, the Winslow boys hit back through their winger, reducing the deficit to 7-17, but the game was effectively over when Charlie Kent scored late in the second half, breaking away from a very well worked driving maul, sealing the comfortable win.
