Amersham and Chiltern 33 – Broadmoor Staff 12 Chiltern hosted broadmoor staff at weedon lane in wet and very windy conditions last Saturday. Broadmoor won the toss and decided to play into the weather in the first half. Straight from the kick off Chiltern pressurised broadmoor, pinning them back into their own 22 at every opportunity. Some poor kicking options and handling errors by Broadmoor were punished by Chiltern, resulting in a try in the corner for Tom LeMehaute after 5 minutes and then after 10 minutes another try by Fly-Half Rob Smalley which was converted by Kinsey. Chiltern now started to move up the gears and played some of their best rugby so far this season. Another flowing move resulted in Sam Rigby being tackled 2 metres short of the try line, only to pop the ball up to Colm Gilhooly who, to the surprise of everyone, himself included, managed to score his first try in 15 seasons of rugby for Chiltern. Another 2 conversions from Kinsey and a second try from Smalley made the score 26-0 and Chiltern were now in complete control. However a brief lapse of concentration from Chiltern led to a clearance kick being charged down, a broadmoor player being the first to react and going over unopposed for an unconverted try. Chiltern answered quickly with a try from Neil foster, who out-sprinted his opposite number to score in the corner which was converted by Kinsey. In The second half it was broadmoors turn to have the advantage of the strong wind, and it was now Chilterns turn to defend. This they did for 14 minutes before Broadmoor managed to score a try, their muscular prop taking a short ball off the edge of a ruck and going over although their was a suggestion he had jumped over the Chiltern tackles. Chiltern then showed their growing maturity as a team and effectively killed the game, keeping possession well and forcing broadmoor to infringe at the breakdown which allowed them to gain more territory. Rob Smalley had his best game of the season so far, directing play with a maturity far beyond his 20 years, and Nic Rastelli also had a commanding game at Scrum Half. Chiltern’s back row again put in a solid performance, and hooker Cathal Mchugh coped well with the strong wind in the lineout and made a nuisance of himself around the park, but man of the match went to Colm Gilhooly for his try and a dominant performance in the lineout. Next Saturday Chiltern face another tough match away at Drifters. Team Allen (sub Murray), McHugh, Powell, C.Gilhooly, C.Bond, Rigby (sub Reynolds), L.Antos, Grammenos, Rastelli, R.Smalley, LeMehaute, Culverhouse, Foster, Moutray, Kinsey. Sub not used Crawford. |

A guy named Jon Smalldon came up to the game last Saturday and took some pictures. Please see his weblink - http://jonsmalldon.fpic.co.uk/c1604800.html. I have given this link also to the papers with the match report. |

Just a quick update from the Broadmoor website about their two injuries: "The game was marred by an horrific clash of heads, forcing both teams into the changing rooms whilst the paramedics cleared the pitch and whisking one of the lads to hospital. The Broadmoor coaching staff wish to thank the Amersham Physio and their No15 (a doc) for the help offered at the time too. No serious damage though ... both players returned to Crowthorne sporting 24 stitches between them." |

Fortunately the 3 seconds before Colm's try has been immortalised and not the event itself. Please can we ensure that the match report is ammended before submission to the Buck's Examiner. I want a full cover-up. |

Will you listen to him. Colm's been waiting for fifteen years to moan about the Chiltern back's try contribution, and now you won't be able to shut him up. Could we not write to the RFU or something please and have Knuckles' try stricken from the records, and history. The Lurcher |
