Abingdon 1XV 3-51 Chiltern 1XV

Chiltern started their BBO premier stay with a 51-3 win at Abingdon. 4 tries from fly half Rob Smalley and tries from Lewis Culverhouse, debutant James Cope and Dan kinsey secured an opening victory. The score could have been more had chilts been less enthusiastic at the breakdown and given away less penalties in the process (and also had Kinsey not hit the post twice with conversions.....and maybe if colm gilhooly had chipped in with a try). Whenever chiltern got the ball wide they looked dangerous, and superior fitness led to Chilts running away with the game in the second half. Despite a resounding victory, chiltern can and will improve from this performance and look forward to another away encounter next weekend at Harwell.
