Bonus point win on the road for 3xv

Chiltern travelled away to mid table Bicester looking for another victory to keep the pressure on top of the table Bletchley.

Chiltern started well and three tries were scored within 20 minutes by Sam Woods, Ryan Greenstreet and Johnny Rice. Two were converted by Dan Kinsey.

All tries were well deserved team tries and Chiltern should have scored more but for the final pass on numerous occasions.

Bicester's set piece struggled and this gave Chiltern the platform to play quick ball and control possession and territory.

A penalty in front of the posts was missed by Bicester late in the first half keeping the score at 19-0.

HT 19-0

The second half was a tighter affair and Bicester restricted Chiltern in attack as they got a foot hold in the game.

However, the bonus point was secured five minutes after half time when Liam Gilhooly picked up a loose ball and finished well under the posts. The conversion was successful by Ryan Greenstreet.

After spending the majority of the second half in Bicester's half Chiltern were rewarded with a late try when James Ashton cut a great line to score Chiltern's final try. The conversion was missed

In what was the last play of the game; Bicester had a scrum five metres out from Chiltern's line and moved the ball blind quickly to score in the corner. The conversion was successful.

A shame to end on a try conceded but overall a well deserved away win which keeps Chiltern in second and now four points behind league leaders Bletchley after they lost away to High Wycombe 31-26.

FT 31-10
